It’s been a little while since I shared one of my recipes, so I’ve been going through my past bakes and found a few that haven’t made it onto the blog yet. I’m not a massive cupcake fan myself, but I absolutely love baking them. One type of cupcake I really enjoy eating as well as making are these pistachio cupcakes. Just sweet enough, with a lovely nutty flavour.
You will Need:
120g self raising flour
50g pistachios ground
170s caster sugar
170d butter
3 eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
Green gel food colouring
For the frosting
85g butter
175g icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Green gel food colouring
Chopped pistachios to decorate
How to Make
- Preheat oven to 180ºc. Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake cases.
- Grind the pistachios until they have a fine consistency.
- Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl, making sure to add only a little food colouring.
- Beat the ingredients together until fully combined.
- Spoon into cake cases and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Cool cakes on a wire rack.
- Beat all the frosting ingredients together, adding a little food colouring at a time until the frosting has a very light green colour.
- Pipe onto the cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
Let me know if you give these pistachio cupcakes a try and what you think. I’m hoping to do a little baking this bank holiday weekend, so look out for some new recipes very soon.
