In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk and 2 large eggs.

Slow stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until the mixture is smooth. Then add in the red food coloring until the batter is the color that you prefer.

Heat up vegetable oil in a sauce pan. You will want to line the bottom of the pan with approximately 2″ of oil. Heat on medium heat until the oil is hot (2-4 minutes).

Slowly drizzle approximately ½ cup of the batter into the oil. You will want to swirl and criss-cross the batter across each other to form the funnel cake look. You can also use a piping bag for this process.

Fry each side of the funnel cake until they are golden brown (60-90 seconds per side).

Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel line plate.

Dust with powder sugar immediately and serve warm.

Repeat this process with the remaining batter until all the funnel cakes are created. The batter makes approximately 4-6 cakes depending on the size of your funnel cakes.

Then enjoy!
