Number Of Ingredients 19

23 flat-bottom ice cream cones
2 1/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup root beer (measure liquid only-not foam)
Root beer candies, coarsely crushed, if desired
46 straws, if desired
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup cold root beer
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Dash salt
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Stand ice cream cones in muffin pans. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add granulated sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add whole eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third a time, and 2/3 cup root beer, about half at a time, beating just until blended.
  • Divide batter evenly among ice cream cones, filling each with scant 1/4 cup batter.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cones from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In heavy 3-quart saucepan, mix all frosting ingredients except vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on high speed 1 minute, scraping pan constantly. Place over low heat. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form; remove from heat. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed 2 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Frost cupcakes; decorate with root beer candies. Cut about 4 inches off bottom of each straw; discard. Poke 2 straws into each cupcake.
