Ice cream cone cupcakes
Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 12 wafer cup cones (we like Askeys)
- 175 g unsalted butter softened
- 175 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (we like Nielsen-Massey)
- 3 large free-range eggs
- 175 g self-raising white flour
- 50 g ground almonds
- sprinkles, edible glitter and chocolate flakes to decorate
For the buttercream:
- 300 g unsalted butter softened
- 300 g icing sugar sifted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (we like Nielsen-Massey)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4 and place the ice-cream cones in the holes of the muffin tin. Add scrunched-up pieces of baking paper around the base of each cone to help to keep them steady.
-
Using an electric whisk, beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl down after each addition and adding a spoonful of the flour if the mixture starts to split.
-
Using a metal spoon, fold in the flour and the ground almonds in two batches to make a smooth cake batter. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the ice- cream cones (it may help to ask someone to hold the cones for you) until three-quarters full and make sure the batter reaches the bottom of the cone. Bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes or until risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
-
Using an electric whisk or a food processor, whisk all the buttercream ingredients together for 3–4 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Using a spiral motion, pipe the buttercream on the top of each ice-cream cake in a large swirl. Decorate with your choice of sprinkles and edible glitter and add a chocolate flake.
