This combination of two favourite sweet treats – cupcakes and ice cream cones – is the best of both worlds. When packing them to transport, snuggle them into a cookie tin, then insert a few toothpicks into cones around the edge of the tin and one in the centre to support some plastic wrap so you don't mar the icing.

Ingredients

Chocolate Malt Icing:

Method

In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in bananas and vanilla. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; stir into butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, making 2 additions of dry ingredients and 1 of buttermilk. Scoop into ice cream cones. Set in mini muffin cups.

Bake in 350 F (180 C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre of cake comes out clean, about 24 minutes. Let cool on rack.

Chocolate Malt Icing: Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk drink mix with cocoa; stir in 1/4 cup boiling water until smooth. Let cool. Whisk in icing sugar.

In separate bowl, beat butter until creamy; beat in sugar mixture. Gradually beat in chocolate until smooth and soft peaks form when beaters are lifted, about 2 minutes. Using piping bag fitted with plain tip, pipe icing onto cones. Top with sprinkles. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
