Ingredients
Scale
Cake Mixture
- 1 box (13.25 oz) yellow cake mix (or any flavor, 9x13 size) plus ingredients required to prepare according to box directions
Cupcake Base
- 22 ice cream cones
Topping
- 8 ounces whipped cream or frosting (1 tub)
- Sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cupcake cones.
- Arrange Cones: Place the ice cream cones upright into the wells of a mini cupcake tray to hold them steady during baking.
- Prepare Cake Mix: Follow the box directions to prepare the cake batter using the cake mix and its required ingredients.
- Fill and Bake Cones: Carefully fill each ice cream cone about two-thirds full with the prepared cake batter. Bake them in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake part comes out clean.
- Cool and Decorate: Allow the cupcake cones to cool completely in the tray. Once cooled, top each with whipped cream or frosting and generously sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for a festive finish.
Notes
- Be sure not to overfill the cones to prevent batter from overflowing during baking.
- Use a mini cupcake tray or any similar holder to keep the cones upright while baking.
- Allow the cones to cool completely before adding the whipped cream or frosting to prevent melting.
- You can customize the cake flavor and frosting to suit your taste or party theme.
