Drumstick Cake

Remember those delicious Nestle Drumstick Ice Cream Cones? This cake is a play on that cone…just bigger and better with the same great flavors! It starts with a rich 3 layer chocolate cake filled with irresistible vanilla frosting. Chocolate ganache runs down the side and peanut butter rosettes stand tall on top. Of course, it wouldn’t be a drumstick cake without the traditional chocolate dipped peanut cone on top!
