Ice cream Cone Cake Balls Bake the cake as directed on the box, using a 9-by-13-inch cake pan. Let cool completely, roll, and dip 4 dozen cake balls or less depending on how big you make them, I use a cookie scoop. Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl, break it in half, and rub the two pieces together over a large bowl, making sure to crumble any large pieces that fall off. You can also use a fork to break any larger pieces of cake apart Repeat until the entire cake is crumbled into a fine texture. If you have large pieces mixed in, the cake balls may turn out lumpy and dry and break apart. You should not see any large pieces of cake. Add 3/4 of the of frosting, mix it into the crumbled cake, using the back of a large metal spoon, I use gloves and mix by hand until thoroughly combined. If you use the entire container, the cake balls will be too moist. The mixture should be moist enough to roll into 1 1/2-inch ball and still hold a round shape. Afte...
