So this weekend I made some chocolate hazelnut cupcakes (I'll update about that tomorrow) but because I wasn't sure how I'd like a chocolate cupcake and because we had box funfetti mix and frosting, I decided to make funfetti ice cream cone cupcakes. I wanted to make the funfetti from scratch but we wanted to get rid of the box mix sooner than later.
Ingredients:
funfetti mix (and the water, oil and eggs the mix calls for to make the batter)
funfetti frosting
ice cream cones
Topping optional, I decorated one with chocolate chips. You could use sprinkles or caramel or chocolate sauce.
1.) Take a cake pan and cover it with aluminum foil, folding the ends of foil tightly around the edges of the pan.
3.) Place ice cream cones in the holes.
4.) Following the directions on the funfetti box, combine the ingredients to make the batter.
5.) Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the ice cream cones.
6.) Bake for 22 - 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven. They take a little longer than usual because the batter in the bottom of the cone needs to bake completely. The top of the cupcake will look done but make sure to test to see if it really is done by sticking a toothpick in all the way to the bottom. If it comes out clean then it's done but if it doesn't, leave it in for a few more minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.
7.) Frost the top of the cupcake sticking out of the cone. Also frost any cupcake that is dripping down the sides of the cone. This makes it look like the ice cream is melting. You may want to add food coloring to the frosting to make it look like a certain flavor of ice cream.
8.) Add topping such as chocolate chips or sprinkles.
