The chocolate drizzle on top was such a great touch. It tasted like chocolate magic shell and hot fudge combined. (Those are two necessary ingredients for a good cone, in my opinion.) The sponge cake had a caramely and toasty flavor. There are pockets of caramel scattered in the dessert, and the cake itself did a good job of soaking it up without getting soggy.
While the little cones may look just like decoration, they are worth fighting over when serving this cake. They are filled with hardened chocolate, just like everyone’s favorite part of a Drumstick. I did watch a few reviews online, where the reviewers said the cones got a little too soft for them, which definitely is a bummer. I also didn’t notice any of the crunchy caramel bits that are apparently layered in the cake (just like the crème brûlée bar cake, if you tried it).
I would serve this cake at any event where ice cream would be on the menu, like a summer birthday party. It’s a fun play on ice cream cake, and it definitely would feed a crowd.
