Method

Turn the oven to 220°C and line a cupcake tray with paper cupcake cases.
Stir the flour, Chelsea Caster Sugar and salt together with a fork. Melt the butter then remove from the heat and add the milk, egg and vanilla. Beat well with a fork.
Mash and measure the bananas. Stir them into the liquid mixture and mix well. Add to the dry mixture and fold everything together carefully until all the flour is dampened; stop before the mixture is smooth.
Spoon mixture into the cases and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they spring back when pressed in the centre. Cool on a wire rack.

Icing
Place Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add softened butter and pour some of the hot water over the top.
Mix together with a knife or spatula, adding more water as required to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. Top with banana slices.
