Nifty 50s Ice Cream Cone Cakes Recipes

MELTING ICE CREAM CONE CAKE

Steps:

• Trim the tops of the cakes to make them level. Stack the cakes on a cardboard round, spreading buttercream between each with an offset spatula. Set aside 1/2 cup buttercream in the refrigerator for the ice cream scoop.
• Transfer the layer cake to a turntable. Cover with a thin layer of buttercream (this is the crumb coat). Refrigerate until just set, 10 minutes. Cover with more buttercream, smoothing it with a bench scraper.
• Hold the icing comb against the side of the cake (with the grooves against the frosting) and slowly rotate the turntable to make grooves in the buttercream. Freeze the cake 15 to 20 minutes.
• Tint 1 cup buttercream red. Transfer to a piping bag. Pipe into every other groove on the cake. Smooth with a bench scraper, rotating the turntable (if it looks messy, keep smoothing until the stripes are clean). Freeze the cake 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the ganache: Heat the heavy cream until steaming, then pour over 1 cup white chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Add a few drops of white food coloring. Pour into a squeeze bottle.
• Decorate with more sprinkles around the upside-down ice cream cone.
• Gently squeeze the ganache down the sides of the cake to make drips, then squeeze the remaining ganache over the top; smooth with an offset spatula. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in the microwave.
• Dip the cone in the white chocolate, then in sprinkles. Scoop the chilled 1/2 cup buttercream onto the cake using an ice cream scoop. Insert a lollipop stick into the scoop and cake; use it to support the cone.

CAKES IN A CONE

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix according to directions. Fill each cone about 3/4 full of batter, up to first ridge. Place cones in the cups of a cupcake pan or on cookie sheets.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 15 to 18 minutes.
• Place 10 chocolate chips on top of each warm cone, and in a minute or two spread melted chocolate over top. Decorate with candies.

ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Place the oven rack in the center position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat sugar and margarine together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, on high speed until incorporated. Mix in vanilla extract.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture, alternating with milk and ending with flour mixture, until just incorporated. Spoon batter into each ice cream cone, filling to within 1/2-inch from the top. Set filled cones on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Conecakes:.
• With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and half the sugar.
• In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the egg yolks, oil, vanilla and milk. Mix well with an electric mixer. Using a spatula, fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Pour the batter into the cones, filling to the rim. Arrange the cones on a baking sheet. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Let cool before icing.
• Icing:.
• In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, icing sugar, milk and vanilla until creamy. Mix 1/3 of the icing with cocoa powder until chocolate-coloured, 1/3 with red food colouring until strawberry-coloured and leave 1/3 white (vanilla coloured). Ice the cupcakes.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.

Steps:

• Using an ice cream scoop place scoops of strawberry ice cream into 4 ice cream cones and place on a tray and then freeze.
• Place vanilla icecream into 4 cones and then place in the freezer.
• Repeat with the chocolate and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
• Combine icing sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons warm water in a small bowl and stir until a thick firm icing forms and spoon a little icing onto the base of each ice cream cone to hold cones in place on serving platter or tray.
• Arrange the cones alternating the colours on a large platter (about 30cm square).
• Return to freezer until the ice cream cone cake is ready to serve.
• Tie a wide satin ribbon around the icecream cones to decorate cake securing with a bow and serve.
