Justin's Frosted Chocolate Cone Cakes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, and mixing until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Frost the cooled cakes with the frosting.
