Make Your Cake Mix
- To crush fruit loops simply place them inside a resealable bag and using a kitchen hammer or rolling pin put pressure on them until they are fine crumbs.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine your cake mix, eggs, oil, 1 cup of cereal milk and finely crushed Fruit Loops.
- Beat mixture with electronic mixture or by hand until well combined.
- Prepare your reusable bags to hold your ice cream cones. Using a sharp utility knife or kitchen knife, carefully cut approximately a 2”x2” circle in a top corner of the pan.
- Cut 12 holes out of the pan in total, 3 across and 4 down.
- Begin to prepare your cones for baking. Pour 2-3 spoon-fulls of cake batter inside your cones, filling up to about 1” from the top.
- Set your cones inside the hole of the pan.
- This will allow your cones to bake upright and not tip over.
- Once 12 cones are loaded inside your pan, place in the oven and bake for 22-27 minutes.
- You will be able to stick a toothpick through the top of your cupcake and not have cake batter stuck on it when you pull it back out.
- When your cupcakes are done baking, carefully remove the tray from the oven. Set aside to cool for about 15-20 minutes.
- You can continue to bake the remaining cupcakes while your first batch cools off.
- After your cupcakes have cooled, top with frosting using either a spreadable knife or an icing or piping bag.
- Finish off the cupcakes by topping with whole pieces of Fruit Loops.
