Instructions
1
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a sheet tray by lining it with parchment paper.
2
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, fine salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
3
3. In another large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a standing mixer or spatula until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5
5. Carefully fill each ice cream cone with the batter, only to about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
6
6. Arrange the filled cones upright on the prepared sheet tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7
7. Once baked, remove the cones from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
8
8. While the cones are cooling, let's prepare the spicy cream cheese frosting: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and softened unsalted butter. Whip together until smooth and creamy.
9
9. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and smooth. Mix in the additional vanilla extract and Texas Pete® Hotter Hot Sauce. Adjust the frosting's flavor by adding more sugar or hot sauce as desired.
10
10. Transfer the spicy cream cheese frosting into a piping bag fitted with a small decorative tip.
11
11. Once cones are completely cooled, carefully pierce a small hole in the center of each cake's top using the piping tip. Pipe 2-3 tablespoons of the frosting into each cone, allowing some to overflow for a decorative effect.
12
12. Use any leftover frosting to top the cones or create swirls and designs.
