Recipe Summary Real Pistachio Cupcakes

St. Patrick would certainly give his approval. Because these cupcakes are the real deal! No pudding mixes here, just roasted pistachios. A wonderfully not-too-sweet pale green cupcake that is sure to please. Easy and quick to make, too!

Ingredients | Real Emerald Drop Earrings

1 cup roasted pistachio nut meats

1 ½ cups white sugar, divided

¾ cup all-purpose flour

¾ cup cake flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¾ teaspoon salt

¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

4 large eggs

⅔ cup milk, at room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

Blend pistachios with 1/2 cup sugar in a blender until finely ground.

Sift all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

Beat 1 cup sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat one egg at a time into the creamy butter mixture, thoroughly integrating each egg before adding the next.

Stir milk and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.

Alternately stir flour mixture and milk mixture in small amounts into the butter mixture beginning and ending with the flour mixture; stir just until it comes together into a batter. Fold the ground pistachios into the batter. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the muffin cups for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

I always triple-sift the dry ingredients together. I believe my cupcakes are lighter and more tender because of it. Give it a try!

I used 'Creamy Frosting' from this site and added 1/3 cup ground pistachios to it. After frosting, I dusted the edges of the cupcakes with more ground pistachios.
