Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Set ice cream cones upright in 10 muffin cups.

Step 3

Whisk flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir in water and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Stir melted butter mixture into flour mixture. Stir in eggs, buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is moistened.

Step 6

Beat batter with an electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Spoon chocolate cake batter into ice cream cones, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.

Step 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.

Step 9

Let cupcakes cool thoroughly, about 1 hour.

Step 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.
