Beautifully piped Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Frosting on homemade Chocolate Cupcakes. Add the broken waffle cone to look like ice cream, but it tastes like a delicious creamy buttercream frosting!
Ingredients
For the vanilla frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 5 Tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the chocolate frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ½ cup powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 4 waffle cone bowls, broken in pieces
Instructions
- Prepare cupcakes according to recipe (or box mix). Cool completely.
- For the vanilla frosting, beat butter in an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes, until fluffy and pale in color. Add in powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Beat an additional 3-5 minutes until frosting is fluffy, and desired consistency. Set aside.
- For the chocolate frosting, beat butter in an electric for 3-5 minutes until fluffy and pale in color. Add in powdered sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and chocolate syrup. Beat an additional 3-5 minutes until frosting is fluffy, and desired consistency. Set aside.
- Spoon each frosting into a separate piping bag (no tip). Snip off the tips of the bags. Add both bags to a large decorator bag with a Wilton 1M tip attached.
- Using a constant pressure, pipe on the outside edge of the cupcake with the piping bag held straight up. Squeeze and begin the swirl around the outside edge of the cupcake.
- Continue squeezing while you create another layer of frosting as you spiral towards the center. Add your piece of waffle cone to the top and repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
- Store cupcakes in airtight container for up to 3 days. ENJOY!
Notes
- Frosting recipe makes enough frosting to pipe large swirls of frosting onto cupcakes. If you don't like as much frosting as pictured, cut recipe in half!
- Use our homemade chocolate syrup in the chocolate frosting!
