Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Pistachios
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 drop Green food coloring
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Fold in the chopped pistachios.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the powdered sugar, butter, and green food coloring until creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue beating until light and fluffy.
7. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, frost them with the pistachio frosting.
8. Optional: garnish with additional chopped pistachios.
