  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with mini cupcake liners.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter & Sugar

    In a separate mixing bowl, cream together 0.5 cups of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs & Vanilla

    Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, and add 1 tsp of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine with Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with 0.5 cups of milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.

  6. 6

    Fill the Mini Cones

    Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each mini cone with the cake batter about 2/3 full. Place the cones in the cupcake pan.

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Adjust Consistency

    Add 2 tbs of milk to achieve desired consistency. If using, add food coloring at this stage and mix to incorporate.
