- I hope this detailed guide has inspired you to make these fun and delicious Ice Cream Sundae Cupcakes! They’re a perfect way to combine two classic desserts into one delightful treat.
Ingredients
Here’s a complete list of the ingredients you’ll need, with precise measurements:
- 1 box Devil’s food cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box – usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons milk
- Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
- Sprinkles, for garnish
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Instructions
Let’s get baking! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Prepare Oven and Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
Prepare the Devil’s food cake batter according to the package directions. This typically involves combining the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water.
Step 2: Bake the Cupcakes
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 3: Cool the Cupcakes
Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. It’s important that they are completely cool before frosting.
Step 4: Make the Frosting
While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar and softened butter.
Beat with a hand mixer (or a stand mixer) until smooth and fluffy.
If the mixture is too thick, gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, beating until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to hold its shape but still creamy and spreadable.
Step 5: Frost and Decorate
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use an ice cream scoop to scoop a generous amount of frosting onto each cupcake. This will create that rounded, “ice cream scoop” look.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the frosting.
Garnish with sprinkles and a maraschino cherry on top of each cupcake.
