Widen the holes with fingers and place 1 ice cream cone in each muffin cup with the flat bottom side downwards.

4

Pour 2 tablespoons of batter in each cone so that it reaches the inner lower rim, otherwise, it will topple.

Once all the cones are filled, tap the muffin tin pan on the counter to settle the batter.

Bake the ice-cream cones for 20-30 minutes, check after 20 minutes. You can check the cones with a knife. Cut a knife in the center of the cup cake, if the knife comes out clean, then the cones are done.

Once completely cooled, you can top with whipped cream and decorate with sprinkles.
