Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes
Second post off old blog…
I made these for a very special 4 year old’s birthday 
I think they were pretty successful - well they looked cute anyway.
Still not happy with the chocolate base, this version adapted from Chokylit’s one, I found it had way to much sugar and something not quite right about the texture. Still they were cute. One thing to be careful of is how much you fill the cones. I filled mine up to different levels, about 2/3, and still most of them overflowed.

1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder

1. measure out everything but the eggs into bowl
2. beat together until just mixed, then on high for about 2 minutes
3. add eggs, beat on high speed again for 2 minutes
4. pour batter into ice cream cones, leave a lot of space between batter and the top of the cone
7. bake at 180 for about 20 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean
