Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 12 cones Flat-bottomed ice cream cones
- 2 cups Frosting of your choice
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with foil to keep cones stable while baking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth, but do not overmix.
Carefully fill each ice cream cone with batter, filling about 2/3 full to allow room for the cupcakes to rise.
Place the filled cones in the prepared muffin tin for stability and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cupcake cones to cool completely before frosting.
Once the cones are cool, generously frost each one with your favorite frosting and decorate with sprinkles if desired.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
