Cake Batter Scones

Classic scone recipe, but with the addition of dry cake mix and cake batter flavoring. Scones are iced with a cake batter glaze and topped with sprinkles!

I love making scones of any variety. And when I received Cake Batter Flavoring from Dolce Foglia, I knew I wanted to use it to make a fun twist on scones! And the flavoring is spot on cake batter flavor!

Cake Batter Scones

Print Recipe
Serves: 8 Scones Cooking Time: 22-25 minutes

Ingredients

  • SCONES:
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cake batter flavoring
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry cake mix (I used Funfetti flavored)
  • 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cubed
  • CAKE BATTER ICING:
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon cake batter flavoring
  • 2-3 tablespoons warm water
  • Food coloring of your choice (optional)
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

1

SCONES: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, cake batter flavoring and heavy cream. Let mixture sit while you prepare the dry ingredients.

2

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, sugar and dry cake mix in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Dump the scone dough on a piece of parchment paper and pat into an 8-inch circle, approximately 1-1/2 inches high. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour or cover overnight.

3

Once chilled, preheat oven to 375-degrees. Cut the circle into 8 pie shaped slices and transfer to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or to a scone pan sprayed with baking spray.

4

Bake in 375-degree oven for 22-25 minutes or until the sides and top are slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let set for 10-15 minutes. Once set, transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

5

Once scones have cooled and you are ready to serve them, prepare the cake batter icing.

6

CAKE BATTER ICING: in a medium sized bowl, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, cake batter flavoring and water (and food coloring if using). Add more water or powdered sugar to reach desired consistency.

7

Use a spoon to spread the icing on top of each scone and immediately add sprinkles. Let the icing set for 2-3 hours before storing.

Notes

Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
