Great for the kids and ever greater for birthdays. I only made 8 cones and a mini cake but you can play around with the number of cones and double the amounts as required.
Ingredients
½ Cup Sweetened/ Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (You can also mix the two)
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
¼ tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 Cup White Sugar
1 Egg
½ Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Hot Water
8 Ice Cream Cones (small ones with flat bottom)
For the chocolate coating:
½ Cup Heavy/ Whipping Cream
¾ Cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F (175C)
Mix all the cake ingredients together
Pour about ¼ cup (until cone is ¾ full) of cake batter in each cone. Pour the rest of the batter into additional cones or into a 7 inch (18cm) greased baking pan.
Place the cones standing (preferable in a deep baking pan to avoid falling) and gently place in preheated oven. Place the 7 inch cake in the oven as well (or you can bake it later when cones are ready).
Bake for about 35-40 minutes.
Wait until the cakes (cones) are cool and prepare the coating.
To prepare the coating:
Simmer heavy cream in saucepan
Add the chocolate chips in while simmering and stir really well until fully molten.
Remove from heat and pour about 1-2 teaspoons on each cooled ice cream cone. Decorate with coconut or sprinkles.
Notes
**Make sure you immediately place the cones in the oven after filling them to avoid the cones getting wet and soft from the filling.
