Justin's Frosted Chocolate Cone Cakes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Set ice cream cones upright in 10 muffin cups.
3. Whisk flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
4. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir in water and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.
5. Stir melted butter mixture into flour mixture. Stir in eggs, buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is moistened.
6. Beat batter with an electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.
7. Spoon chocolate cake batter into ice cream cones, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
8. Bake immediately in the preheated oven (to avoid cones becoming soggy) until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cake center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
9. Let cupcakes cool thoroughly, about 1 hour.
10. Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Frost cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting.

"THIS RECIPE ROCKS !! HANDS DOWN DELISH !! Light, fluffy,so amazingly good. ! No need for frosting, they are that good. But I made the frosting for kids and tinted the frosting different colors and a..." See moredded choc. chips, yum ! I did not use the cones, filled cupcake tin about 1/2 way. Had no buttermilk, so I substituted 1/4 cup milk + 1/2 teas. white vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes before adding. Don't be alarmed that mixture is thin. I thought I didn't follow recipe correctly but they came out PERFECT ! THIS RECIPE IS A KEEPER !!! Try it, you'll be glad you did !!"
