Ingredients 

Cupcakes

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Strawberry Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the chopped pistachios.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  7. For the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Add the strawberry puree and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
  8. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the strawberry frosting.
