Mix batter. In a small bowl, stir cake mix and water until mostly smooth with no large lumps.
Fill cone. Carefully pour batter into the ice cream cone, filling just to the base of the rounded edge. Do not overfill.
Microwave. Place the cone upright on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for about 45 seconds, until the top no longer looks wet. A small moist spot is fine.
Cool. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes before handling.
Finish. Add frosting if using, then serve immediately.
Notes
Flavor Options. Any boxed cake mix works, including chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, or spice.
Batch Cooking. Cook one cone at a time for even results. Cooking multiple cones may require extra time.
Cooling Tip. Allow cones to cool before handling, as the center stays hot longer.
Storage. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
