Devils Food Cupcake Ice Cream Cones Recipes

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKE CONES

Steps:

• Make the cupcake cones: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 1 ice cream cone in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour over the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl; let sit a minute to melt, then stir together and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and eggs. Stir to break the eggs, then stir with the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Add the chocolate-butter mixture and stir until well combined.
• Spoon the batter into a piping bag and pipe into the cones, dividing it equally among the cones, no more than three-fourths full. Bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cakes spring back to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• Beat together the butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Divide the frosting into bowls and tint with the food coloring, as desired. Transfer each colored frosting to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe a swirl of frosting onto each cupcake cone and decorate with a piece of cookie and sprinkles.

CANDY-TOPPED CUPCAKE CONES

• Bake 21 to 26 minutes or until toothpick carefully inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Frost with frosting and decorate. Store loosely covered.

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES

Steps:

• To make the cupcakes:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 1 (12-cup) muffin pan with paper cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter and the sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Slowly beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix together the milk, coffee, and vanilla in a measuring cup. Add 1/2 the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beat to combine, then add the milk- coffee mixture and continue to beat, then add the remaining dry mixture. The mixture will look thick and airy.
• Using an ice cream scoop, fill each cupcake liner 3/4 way full. Bake until a toothpick, inserted in the middle of the cupcake, comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the oven to a wire rack and let cool before frosting.
• To make the frosting: Bring the heavy whipping cream to a gentle simmer. Add the chopped chocolate to a bowl with the butter and pour the hot cream over. Whisk the mixture until melted and smooth. Let it sit for 5 to 8 minutes until it thickens up.
• Frost the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting using an offset spatula. Top each with a raspberry.

HALLOWEEN CUPCAKE CONE GHOSTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Make cake batter as directed on box. Fill each cone with 2 tablespoons batter. Refrigerate remaining batter. Stand cones upright in muffin pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
• Place paper baking cup in each of 18 regular-size muffin cups. Use remaining batter to fill muffin cups about two-thirds full. Bake and cool as directed on box for cupcakes. Save for another use.
• In medium bowl, place 1 1/2 cups of the powdered sugar. Add marshmallow creme; stir, pressing mixture against side of bowl until it clumps together. Knead on work surface, gradually adding remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar until dough is smooth. Generously sprinkle powdered sugar on work surface and hands. Shape fondant into 12 balls (1 1/2 inches each) on work surface; flatten each to 5 1/2-inch circle.
• Lightly spray serving platter with cooking spray to prevent cupcakes from sticking to plate. Turn 1 cone upside down, and place 1 fondant circle over cone, draping fondant to form ghost body. Place 2 miniature chocolate chips on face for eyes and 1 for mouth; if necessary, moisten fondant with a little water so chips stick. Store covered.

ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Prepare batter for cupcakes per instructions on the box.
• Pour scant 1/4-cup batter into flat-bottomed ice cream cones so they are a little less than half full, or about half full; if you fill the cones too much, the cakes will not have a nice, round top.
• Place the cones on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cool and frost, then decorate with sprinkles as desired.
