Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 12 ice cream cones (flat-bottomed)
- 1 cup whipped cream or frosting
- Edible mini marshmallows (kitten ears)
- Edible candy eyes
- Edible pink candy (for noses)
- Food coloring (optional for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time; add the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder, then add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
- Prepare Cones:
- Carefully pour the batter into the ice cream cones, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake:
- Place the cones upright in a muffin tin to avoid tipping.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost:
- Let the cones cool completely.
- Use whipped cream or frosting to cover the top of the cones, creating a fluffy “kitten fur” appearance.
- Decorate:
- Use mini marshmallows for ears, edible candy eyes, and a small pink candy for the nose.
- Add a bit of creativity with food coloring in the frosting for extra flair.
Notes
- To stabilize the cones while baking, you can use a specialized cupcake cone baking rack.
- Get creative by adding food coloring to the batter for colorful kittens.
- If you’re preparing these for a party, consider a variety of decorations to accommodate different “kitten” styles.
