Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 10 flat-bottomed wafer ice cream cones

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup butter

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 eggs

  • ¼ cup buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • cup cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Set ice cream cones upright in 10 muffin cups.

  3. Whisk flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.

  4. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir in water and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.

  5. Stir melted butter mixture into flour mixture. Stir in eggs, buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is moistened.

  6. Beat batter with an electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.

  7. Spoon chocolate cake batter into ice cream cones, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.

  8. Bake immediately in the preheated oven (to avoid cones becoming soggy) until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cake center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

  9. Let cupcakes cool thoroughly, about 1 hour.

  10. Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Frost cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting.
