Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes Recipe
Makes: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
  • 12 wafer cones
  • 1 1/2 cups white buttercream frosting
  • Toppings of your choice i.e. sprinkles, maraschino cherries, chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • In a bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer or by hand, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and mix in the vanilla.

  • Add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, alternately, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated after each addition. Be sure not to over beat.

  • Using a mini cupcake scoop, fill wafer ice cream cone ⅔ full of batter, being careful not to over fill cone. Place filled wafer cones into mini muffin pans so that they do not tip over when baking.

  • Bake until the center is firm, about 10-12 minutes, rotating pan once if needed. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Remove wafer cones from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.

  • Once wafer and cupcake are cooled, frost top with buttercream frosting, spread on with an offset spatula or piped from a bag. Sprinkle with confetti sprinkles before frosting dries to ensure they stick. Top with a cherry. Enjoy!
