Texas Pete® Red Velvet Cones Recipe
YIELD: 48 cake cones
PORTION: 1 cake cone
INGREDIENTS
*** ***Cake Batter
5 cups All purpose flour
3 cups Granulated sugar
1 Tbsp Baking soda
2 tsp Salt, fine
2 tsp Cocoa powder
3 cups Vegetable oil
2 cups Buttermilk: room temperature
4 Large eggs: room temperature
3 Tbsp Red food coloring
2 Tbsp Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
48 Ice cream cones, small, flat bottomed
*** ***Cream cheese Icing
36 oz. Cream cheese: softened, whipped
1 stick Unsalted butter: softened, whipped
2 cups Powdered sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tsp Texas Pete® Hotter Hot Sauce
Piping bag with small decorative tip
Shaker, Powdered sugar, for garnish.
PROCEDURES
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. In another large bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, Texas Pete® Hot Sauce and vanilla.
3. Using a standing mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined and a smooth batter is formed.
4. Carefully spoon the batter into the ice cream cones filling them 2/3 of the way up to give them room for rising in the oven. Arrange the cones on a parchment-lined sheet tray standing up and place them into the oven to bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes or until they have fully risen and a tooth pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
5. Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool completely.
6. While the cakes are in the oven, prepare the spicy cream cheese frosting.
7. Place the softened cream cheese and the softened butter into a medium size mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth. Add the vanilla extract and the Texas Pete® Hotter Hot Sauce and whisk one more minute. You may add more powdered sugar or Texas Pete® Hotter Hot Sauce so that the icing is to your liking.
8. Place the spicy cream cheese frosting into a piping bag with a small decorative tip.
9. Using the tip of the piping bag, carefully puncture a small hole into the center of the top of the red velvet cake and pipe approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the spice cream cheese into the center of the cake allowing some of the cream cheese to come out of the top for decoration. Continue until all the red velvet cake cones are filled. Use any extra cream cheese icing to frost the tops of the cones.
10. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
I’ve actually never heard of Texas Pete before but this recipe sounds delicious! What a great way to also donate to a charity.
i saw that recipe and was intrigued. I’m more of a savory girl so I choose the wings
These sound really delicious! What a great variation on cake. Yum!
This sounds really interesting! I would be skeptical, but I regularly drink hot chocolate with cayenne and cinnamon in it.
What an interesting take on an old favorite! This is super cute, and it sounds really good.
I got really confused at this until I started reading. I saw cupcakes and then saw Texas Pete and was like… I thought Texas Pete was hot sauce! Awesome… I will have to make this for my boys.
Oh this looks so yumy. My hubby birthday is coming up and this would be a nice treat for him
No way. My husband would LOVE these!
These are adorable! I’m definitely making these in the future.
Oh those look so yummy!!! I’ve seen so many people make cupcakes in cones but I have never personally tried it! I am going to try this! Thanks for posting!
This sounds very different and intriguing! I think it’s something my husband would really like.
My husband generally uses Texas Pete on random foods. I’ve never considered using it in something sweet!
This sounds really good. I know my husband would love it. He loves anything Texas Pete!
This is a crazy idea. I want to bake it anyway and not tell my kids what’s in it!
This looks so good. I would love to give this a try.
I love red velvet cake so this looks heavenly to me. I never thought of eating it our of a cone before.

That is a really cool idea. My boys would love eating cake out of a cone.
This is a very interesting recipe. I would definitely give it a try. It looks like it is fun to make.
Say what?!! I had no idea. Wow, I am really shocked. I will have to try this out myself. My husband loves Red Velvet, but I’ve never made it. Until recently I didn’t even know it was a chocolate cake. lol
My wife adores red velvet cake, but I had never seen the idea of putting it into a cone! Wheels turning!!!
Now this sounds like my kind of recipe! I’ll have to try these out soon since my mouth is watering like crazy now. Thanks for sharing!
I’m all about a cupcake in a cone! Never heard of Texas Pete, even when I lived in the south.
I’ve made cupcakes in a cone before. They’re always a hit! I’ve never heard of Texas Pete before though!
This sounds like something I would love. I love a little spicy in everything I eat! I will have to make these and see if my boys notice the little kick!
Wow this sounds like a unique combination. I shared it!

Now that is an interesting twist. I will have to try this.
Wow! Now that is a fascinating combination. I love each one of those ingredients separately so I can only imagine how amazing they must be together!
My hubs is not a sweets kind of guy – but he loves hot sauce. This recipe is perfect for him!
What a fun idea! I have only used Texas Pete in making chicken wings. I am going to have to give this a try!
I’m super curious to try this recipe. I love Texas Pete hot sauce and I also crave Red Velvet cake, but I’m having a hard time imagining how this would taste together.
Ok so I’ve never thought to do that! I feel like I HAVE To make these just to see how it is!
This is a combo I never thought to try, but will.
Oh YUM! Love the idea of the sweet and spicy with the heat. YUM!
I would have never thought to put that together. That being said, I’d try it!
This is such a neat recipe! I would have never thought to add Texas Pete to my red velvet!
