Instructions
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place a muffin tin on a stable surface and set the ice cream cones upright in the wells.
Pro tip: Use aluminum foil to help stabilize cones if needed.
Prepare the cake batter
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water until well combined and smooth.
Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light.
Fill the cones
Carefully spoon the cake batter into each cone, filling about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
Pro tip: Use a small ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake the cones
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Pro tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Cool the cones
Remove from oven and let the cones cool completely in the muffin tin.
Pro tip: Cooling in the tin prevents tipping over.
Melt the chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pro tip: Chocolate should be glossy and pourable.
Dip and decorate
Dip the tops of the cooled cake cones into the melted chocolate, then immediately into sprinkles. Let set on a parchment-lined tray.
Pro tip: Work quickly as chocolate sets fast.
Tips & Tricks
- Ensure cones are fresh to avoid breakage.
