Instructions
To Make the Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160 Fan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add in the flour, eggs and baking powder and mix until all combined.
- Split the mixture into three bowls.
- In one down add the vanilla extract and mix.
- In the second bowl, add the strawberry extract and pink food colouring and mix.
- In the third bowl add the cocoa powder and milk and mix.
- Spoon the mixture into the ice cream cones. I started with chocolate on the bottom, then vanilla then strawberry on top.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You will know the cupcake cones are ready when they are golden brown and springy to touch.
To Make the Buttercream
- While the cupcake cones are cooling make the buttercream.
- In a large bowl add the butter and icing sugar and mix until it is all combined.
- Split the mixture into three bowls.
- Add the vanilla extract to the first bowl and mix.
- In the second bowl add the strawberry flavouring and pink food colouring and mix.
- In the third bowl add the cocoa powder and milk and mix.
- Spread the mixture onto a piece of clingfilm n rows. I did one row of chocolate buttercream, vanilla buttercream and strawberry buttercream.
- Roll the clingfilm up and tie the ends. Cut one of the ends off and pop it into a piping bag.
- Pipe swirls on top of your cupcake cones.
