Icecream cone cakes(with egg,eggless,quick,great for parties,kids)

    If you are bored of eating cupcakes/regular cakes you can try this.I made these for some of my friends, not only kids we all enjoyed them..!! :)
Ingredients:
Process:
 1) Prepare any cake batter of your choice(eggless /with egg).
2) Place the ice cream cups in a cupcake tray as below and fill 3/4 of  them with cake batter using a ice cream scoop/any spoon that's available in the kitchen. (I made few cupcakes and few ice cream cone cakes at a time).
     Also I have used some rainbow sprinkles in some just to have different varieties of them. :)

 3) Bake them.Be careful when you are placing them in the oven.They tend to move easily since base of ice cream cup is smaller than the cupcake tray base.
Note: Don't over fill them and also make sure your batter doesn't touch the edges of ice cream cup.If you do so it looks like below, overflowing and burnt on the edges.
Oven temp:350 deg F
Time:15-17 min/until they are golden brown on the top.Keep an eye after 15 min.
Storage: You can store them in air tight container like any other cake.
