Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 10 flat-bottomed ice cream cones
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Recipe

• 4 remove from heat and combine with flour mixture.
• 5 mix until well blended.
• 6 add eggs, buttermilk and vanilla; beat 1-2 minutes.
• 7 pour into ice cream cones, filling to about 1-inch from top.
• 8 place in muffin tin and bake for 30 minutes (bake right away so the cones don't get soggy; if you have a problem keeping the cones upright in the muffin tin, tuck a piece of crumpled foil around each filled cone before baking).
• 9 mash cream cheese together with powdered sugar.
• 10 add the vanilla a little at a time and food coloring if desired; mix thoroughly.
• 11 let the conecakes cool before frosting them, so frosting doesn't melt.
• 12 top with frosting, and if desired decorate with sprinkles, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, candy pieces, etc.
• 13 do not store in an airtight container as the cones will soften.
