• This will work with any brand ( or flavor) or cake mix.  For the recipe to work, use a standard size box.  Approx 15-18 oz in size.

Recipes Notes

Can I Use Any Flavor Cake Mix?

Yes! These work with any flavor cake mix.  Just be sure to stick with a standard size (15-18 oz) box.  Make the batter according to your box instructions.

Ice Cream Cones

Use flat bottom cones. See the recipe card for purchase/example.

Frosting

Frost these lovelies with anything you want!  Need a few ideas? 

🞹 Important Note 

Don't over fill your cones! It may not look like much batter, but, remember, it will rise as it bakes. Use about 3 tablespoons of batter for each cone. 

Storage

Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within 2-3 days.  Want to freeze them? After baking, let them cool completely.  Then, freeze your unfrosted cupcake cones in a freezer safe/covered storage bag or container. When you are ready, let them thaw to room temperature, then, frost or serve plain.

Recipe Notes

Can I Use Any Flavor Cake Mix? 

Yes!  I usually opt for a white/vanilla or yellow cake mix.  However, if you stick with a standard size box ( 15-18 oz), you can use any flavor or brand.   Also, you will only be using the dry mix, not making the cake. 

What About Fruit?

Again, yes, use your favorite frozen fruit. Keep it frozen and make sure your fruit will lay in a single layer on the bottom of your baking dish.  Other than that, it's up to you!

Lemon Lime Soda

I have used Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist and generic lemon lime soda for this cobbler. They all work great.

Dry Spots

If your cobbler has a few dry spots after baking, that's OK.   Feel free to use a bit more soda to cover the entire top of the dry cake mix before baking or lightly tip the pan back and forth, so, the soda will spread more evenly.

Important!

After layering your ingredients in the pan,  DO NOT MIX!  I learned this the hard way the very first time I made it.  It will take forever to bake and won't turn out properly.
