In a mixing bowl, mingle together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the wet components: milk and 2 large eggs.
Gently fold the dry mix into the liquid mix until smooth. Add the red food coloring to paint the batter to your preferred shade.
Warm up vegetable oil in a sauce pan, lining approximately 2 inches of oil. Heat on medium until hot (about 2-4 minutes).
Slowly drizzle around ½ cup of batter in the oil, forming twists and criss-cross patterns for the funnel cake shape. Try using a piping bag for precision.
Fry each side until beautifully golden brown (about 60-90 seconds per side).
Remove and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to soak in any excess oil.
Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve while warm for the ultimate experience.
Carry on the magic with the remaining batter to craft all your funnel cakes. This mixture can yield about 4-6 cakes, contingent on size.
Delight in your masterpiece!
