Ingredients
Instructions
- Make the cake mix according to the package directions.
- Place 2 tablespoons of batter into each flat-bottomed ice cream cone, filling each about half full.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, consider adding chocolate chips or sprinkles to the cake batter before filling the cones. If you're short on time, a store-bought cake mix works perfectly. You can also use gluten-free cake mixes for a gluten-free version of this treat. Experiment with flavors by using different cake mixes, such as chocolate or lemon, to match your preferences.
Serving Suggestions
These cake cones are perfect for parties or as a fun dessert for kids. Consider serving them with a scoop of ice cream on top or drizzling with chocolate sauce. They pair beautifully with My Lemon Pie for a delightful dessert table. For an extra treat, serve them alongside fresh fruit or whipped cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cake cones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To maintain their texture, avoid refrigerating them. If you plan to reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm treat, but be cautious not to overheat, as the cones can become soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade cake batter instead of a cake mix?
Absolutely! You can use your favorite homemade cake recipe instead of a store-bought mix. Just ensure the consistency is similar so it can be easily poured into the cones. Keep in mind the baking time may vary depending on your recipe.
What can I do if my cones break while filling?
If your cones break, try using a smaller amount of batter or filling them more gently. You can also reinforce the cones by placing them in a muffin tin while baking, which helps them hold their shape better during the filling process.
How can I decorate the cake cones?
Get creative with decorations! You can frost the tops with buttercream or cream cheese frosting, then sprinkle with edible glitter, sprinkles, or crushed candies. For a themed party, use colored frosting to match the occasion, making them fun and festive.
