A fun and easy homemade dessert featuring cake baked inside cones, dipped in chocolate, and topped with fresh strawberry frosting. Perfect for parties or a special treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box white or vanilla cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432 g)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cups (360–480 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh strawberries, finely chopped or pureed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 8–10 cake cones (regular size, sturdy waffle cones preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and well blended.
  3. Stand cake cones upright in a muffin tin or sturdy base. Fill each cone about 3/4 full with cake batter using a spoon or piping bag.
  4. Place filled cones on baking sheet or keep in muffin tin. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  5. Remove cones from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. In a large bowl, beat softened butter until creamy (about 2 minutes). Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Mix in pureed strawberries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat until frosting is light and fluffy. Adjust consistency with more powdered sugar or a splash of milk if needed.
  8. Melt chocolate chips with oil in 20-second intervals in microwave, stirring after each, until smooth.
  9. Dip the top rim of each cooled cone into melted chocolate, twisting slightly to coat evenly. Place cones upright on parchment paper and chill for 10-15 minutes until chocolate hardens.
  10. Pipe or spoon a generous swirl of strawberry frosting on top of each cake cone. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or chocolate shavings.
  11. Serve immediately or store as directed.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overfill cones to avoid spills. Cool cones completely before frosting to prevent melting. Adding coconut oil to chocolate helps it set shiny and crisp. Store frosted cones refrigerated and serve at room temperature. Frosting can be firmed up in fridge if too soft during decorating.
