Ingredients
•
10 flat-bottomed wafer ice cream cones
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 cup white sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup butter
•
1/2 cup water
•
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
•
2 eggs
•
1/4 cup buttermilk
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
•
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
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.

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.
