Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and finely ground pistachios.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them.
- Fill each cupcake liner with batter, about two-thirds full.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely.
Frosting
- While cooling, prepare the frosting by beating the softened butter in a bowl until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and spreadable.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, frost each one and top with fresh raspberries for decoration.
