Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Line two cupcake pans with cupcake liners, you will have 24 cupcakes, set-aside.
  2. Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, vanilla bean, and baking powder. Whisk well, set aside.
  3. Using stand mixer or hand mixer, whisk together the oil, eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Add the buttermilk. Mix until creamy.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet indigents. Whisk, but do not over mix. Some small clumps are okay.
  5. Using a spatula, stir in the sprinkles.
  6. Scoop the cake batter into the cupcake liners by using a spoon. Fill the liner halfway with batter.
  7. Place in the oven for 17-20 minutes. Use a toothpick to check, make sure it is not wet and press on the top of the cupcake to make sure it bounces back.
  8. Let cool on the counter for 10-15 minutes. (Optional step but feel free to place the cupcakes overnight, this helps seal in the moisture. If you place in the freezer, let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes before icing.)
  9. Next, make your icing. Using a hand mixer/stand mixer, whisk the softened butter, for 30 seconds. While it is whisking, chop the dark chocolate.
  10. In a microwave safe bowl, add the dark chocolate and heavy cream. Start with 1-2 tbsp of cream. Stir. Microwave for 15 seconds. Stir. Microwave for another 15 seconds. Add more heavy cream if it is not smooth.
  11. Add the vanilla, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar to the whisked butter. Whisk for 30 seconds. Add the melted chocolate, whisk until smooth. Might take a minute or so. Scrap the sides of the bowl using a spatula and whisk again.
  12. Pour the icing into a piping bag or decorate however you prefer. Top with Halloween sprinkles. Simply enjoy!
