Repeat with the remaining flour and sour cream. Drizzle in the hot coffee and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin. Pipe or spoon the batter into the cones, filling about 3/4 of the way up. Bake until the tops are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay) about 35 minutes.
• To make the frosting place all the ingredients except the vanilla in the top of a double boiler (not over the heat yet). Beat with a mixer thoroughly. Place over boiling water and beat continuously until the frosting is stiff and holds peaks. Take off the boiling water and add the vanilla then continue beating until cool. Frost the top and dip/roll in sprinkles if desired.

Remove from heat and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes. Mixture should thicken slightly but still be pourable (if it thickens too much, return bowl to pot of simmering water for 10 to 15 seconds).
• Ganache: Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Pour over chopped chocolate; let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Stir in malt powder, if using.
• Assembly: Dip top of cones (about 1/2 inch) into shell, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Roll in nuts. Transfer to freezer until set, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon nuts into bottom of each cone, then fill halfway with ganache. Return to freezer until ganache is set, about 30 minutes. Top each cone with a scoop of ice cream. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons shell over each scoop and quickly sprinkle with more nuts. Serve immediately, or freeze, loosely covered, up to 1 day.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.
