Tropical Pineapple Cupcake in a Cone
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups Pineapple Soda I used Fanta
- 1/2 pkg Pineapple Jello (dry)
- 1 12 pack Flat Bottomed Ice Cream Cones
Pineapple Frosting
- 1 1/2 sticks room temperature butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 pkg Pineapple jello (dry)
- 3 tbsp Pineapple Soda I used Fanta
- 1-2 drops Yellow Food Coloring optional (I used gel)
Add eggs, oil, soda, and jello to yellow cake mix. Combine thoroughly. Using an ice cream scoop, fill ice cream cones about 2/3rds full. Set flat bottomed cones in cupcake pan and place in 350 degree oven for about 15-18 minutes until done...check with a toothpick.Remove cone cupcakes from oven and immediately poke hole in the bottom of cone to allow steam to escape. This will keep your cone from becoming soggy. Cool completely before frosting cupcakes.
Pineapple Frosting
Cream butter using electric mixer. Add salt, vanilla, and pineapple jello.Add in the powdered sugar and pineapple soda alternately mixing well after each addition.Add the yellow food coloring if desired and put frosting into a piping bag and pipe onto cone cupcake.Add any embellishments to match your decor. I cut gold straws into 3 pieces and added an un-edible pineapple to the top. Add sprinkles or nothing at all.
