What if we told you that cake mix isn’t just for cake? You can make nearly anything with a box of cake mix, from creamy milkshakes to chewy Rice Krispie treats. We’re currently craving these ice cream cone cupcakes topped with juicy red cherries.

Ingredients

  • 1 box of cake mix, any variety
  • Egg, oil, and water, if the cake mix calls for these ingredients
  • 1 tub of frosting, any flavor
  • 12 ice cream cones
  • Sprinkles, cherries, chocolate chips, or crushed nuts for topping

Preparation

  1. Prepare cake mix according to the instructions on the box and pour into muffin liners, filling each liner about 2/3 full. We recommend using large muffin liners for flat-bottomed cones and and smaller liners for pointed-tip sugar cones.
  2. Place one cone face-down on top of each batter-filled muffin liner.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tip: Some manufacturers sell oven-safe cone holders specifically made for ice cream cone cupcakes. Skip the liners and fill the cones directly if you own one of these handy cone holders.
