How to Make Ice Cream Cone Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ cup sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add the remaining ½ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Set aside.
  5. In the bowl with the dry ingredients, make a well in the center. Add 3 large egg yolks, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup milk.
  6. Beat with an electric mixer until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites using a spatula until just combined.
  8. Fill each ice cream cone with batter, filling to the rim.
  9. Arrange the filled cones on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cone cakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  12. While the cakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  13. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.
  14. Add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach desired consistency.
  15. Divide the frosting into three bowls. Leave one bowl plain white. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to one bowl and mix until chocolate-colored. Add red food coloring to the last bowl until you reach a vibrant strawberry color.
  16. Once the cone cakes are completely cool, frost them with your choice of white, chocolate, or strawberry frosting.
