Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
In a medium bowl add the room temperature butter and sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy (about 4-5 min)

Pour in vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt and give them a quick mix with a whisk or fork
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients
Pour the milk into the mixing bowl and add in the sour cream (or yoghurt)
Mix the cupcake batter together until there is no dry flour (don't over mix)
Put some of the batter in a piping bag and pipe the batter into the cone up until the 'neck' of the cone.
Place the cones in a cupcake pan and bake them at 180 degrees Celsuis for about 20 minutes.
Let cool completely before decorating with buttercream.
For the vanilla buttercream: Add butter to the bowl of your stand mixer (with whisk attachment) and whip the butter for about 5 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy
Add your sugar about half a cup at a time, making sure to incorporate everything before adding more
Add flavour to the buttercream with 1 tsp of vanilla extract
Add 1 tbsp of milk to make it a bit less thick (easier to pipe)
Fill piping bag and decorate the ice cream cone with a beautiful swirl.
