Equipment

  • Ice Cream Cones
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Baking Sheet
  • Cupcake Liners
  • Frosting Tools

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box of cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of water
  • 12-15 flat-bottomed ice cream cones
  • Frosting of choice (buttercream, chocolate, or cream cheese frosting)
  • Sprinkles or other toppings (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Set the Cones: Place the ice cream cones upright on a baking sheet. If desired, line them with cupcake liners to avoid spills.
  • Fill the Cones: Using a spoon, carefully fill each ice cream cone about halfway with cake batter. Be sure not to overfill them, as the cake will rise while baking.
  • Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool the Cakes: Once done, remove the cones from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Decorate: Once cooled, top the cakes with your chosen frosting and sprinkles or toppings.

Notes

If you're using homemade cake batter, ensure that it’s not too runny. A thicker batter will bake more evenly and give the cake more structure inside the cone. Be careful not to overfill the cones, as the batter will expand while baking and can spill over, creating a mess. Also, make sure the cakes are fully cooled before decorating to avoid the frosting melting.
