Chocolate covered brownie icecream cone cupcakes





Makes 12 Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes





Cupcake Making time 20 minutes





Cupcake Baking 160 degrees c





COATING


1 1/3 cups choc chips


2 tablespoons of canola or vegeatable oil


Sprinkles for decoration Maybe yellow and blue for Bob the Builder theme or ricepaper bob pictures to place ontop





BATTER


12 Flat bottom ice cream cones


1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces


28 grams chocolate chopped


3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour


1/2 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 large eggs


1 1/4 cups sugar


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


2/3 cup chocolate chips








Cupcake Method:





Position a rack in the iddle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 160c. Cut 6-inch squares of aluminium foil and press them into 12 regular or mini-muffin tin cups, letting the edges of the foil over the hanging edges. Place a cone in each cup, wrapping the foil around the cone to hold it sturdily in the muffin cup. If you jiggle the pan slightly the cones should not fall over.





Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl or the top of a double boiler and place it over, but not touching, a saucepan of barely simmering water (or bottom of the double boiler). Stir until the butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. Remove from the water and set aside to cool slightly.





In a small bowl, stirl the flour, baking powder and salt together; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed beat the eggs and sugar until thickened and lightened in color, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during mixing. Mix in the Vanilla. On low speed, mix in the chocolate mixture. Mix in the flour mixture until it is incorporated and the batter looks smooth. then Mix in the chocolate chips.





Using a small spoon, fill each icecream cone with about 1/4 cup batter to just bellow the top of the cone.Carefully put the cupcakes into the oven, making sure that the cones are still standing upright.


Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter, clinging to it, about 28minutes. (If the toothpick penetrates the chocolate chips test in another spot)





Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.





Meanwhile, make the chocolate coating. Put the chocolate and oil in a heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler and place it over, but not touching, a saucepan of barely simmering water ( or the bottom of the double boiler) Stir until the chocolate is elted and smooth. Scraspe the chocolate coating into a small bowl.





Dip the top of each cupcake cone in the chocolate coating, letting any excess drip off, and replace the cones in the muffin tin. ( You will have some chocolate coating left over for another use or to pour over ice cream; working with a larger quantity of chocolate coating makes it easier for dipping) Let the coating firm for about 10 minutes then sprinkle it lightly with sprinkles..





You can store the cupcakes for up to 3 Days in a dry cool place!!!
