Time 2h20m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 sugar cones
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole milk
5 large egg whites
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
4 sticks unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Garnish: melted chocolate and cherries

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a 12-inch ovenproof bowl or tube pan (center removed) with a double layer of heavy-duty foil. Poke 12 holes in the foil, 2 1/2 inches apart, using a skewer or a sharp paring knife. Place a cone in each hole, leaving top inch of each visible.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Continue to beat until combined.
  • Fill each cone with 2 to 3 tablespoons batter. Bake, rotating bowl halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely.
  • Make the Swiss meringue buttercream: Heat egg whites, sugar, and salt in the heatproof bowl of a mixer set over a pan of simmering water, whisking, until mixture is warm to the touch and sugar dissolves (it should feel completely smooth when rubbed between 2 fingers).
  • Transfer bowl to mixer, and whisk on low speed, gradually increasing speed to medium-high, until stiff (not dry) peaks form. Continue whisking until cooled and glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to medium-low, and add butter, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in vanilla. Switch to the paddle attachment. Continue beating on low speed until air bubbles are eliminated, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Beat until completely smooth.
  • Transfer buttercream to a pastry bag fitted with a coupler or a large round tip. Pipe buttercream onto cupcake in a circular motion to create a "soft serve" swirl. Garnish with chocolate and cherries. Serve immediately.

SUNDAE CUPCAKES

Time 2h

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup whole milk
1 banana, chopped
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons whole milk
2 sugar ice cream cones, crushed
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
Rainbow sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners. Combine the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the granulated sugar and eggs until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk until just combined. Add the milk and whisk until smooth, then stir in the banana and peanuts.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way. Bake until the tops of the cupcakes spring back when gently pressed, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the butter, confectioners¿ sugar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Add the vanilla and milk; increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the crushed sugar cones and beat 1 more minute. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Arrange the cupcakes on a baking sheet; pipe tall swirls of frosting onto the cupcakes. Refrigerate until the frosting is firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the chocolate shell: Combine the semisweet chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, then pour into a short wide drinking glass for dunking the cupcakes. One at a time, turn each cupcake upside down and dunk the frosting in the melted chocolate; rotate to coat and let the excess drip off. Return to the baking sheet and decorate with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 wafer ice cream cones
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups rainbow sprinkles (not nonpareils)
2 cups vanilla buttercream (homemade or store-bought)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
24 maraschino cherries, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ice cream cones in 2 cupcake cone baking racks set over 1 parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until blended. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour alternating with the milk and mix until incorporated. Beat in the baking powder, salt and vanilla. Fold in 1 cup of the rainbow sprinkles.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cones with an ice cream scoop, filling 2/3 to completely full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip or a large ziptop bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe a swirl of the vanilla buttercream on each cooled cupcake cone. Chill the frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwavable bowl on high in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted. Allow to cool slightly. Pour 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each cupcake, allowing the chocolate to drip down the frosting. Working quickly, top each with a few rainbow sprinkles and a maraschino cherry.
