Not a healthy desert, but who wants their desert to be healthy?
Makes 24 cupcakes.

You can replace 2 T of the buttermilk with vanilla brandy for a deeper flavor.

Ingredients up until the vanilla bean are for the cake, everything after is for the icing.

I don't have a mixture and was just able to use forks and spoons to mix everything and it turned out fine.
