Yield Makes 15 standard or 36 mini cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 to 2 containers (6 ounces each) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup slivered or chopped pistachios, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line standard or mini muffin tins with paper liners; coat liners with cooking spray. In a food processor, finely grind shelled pistachios with the sugar and salt. Add butter, vanilla, and eggs: process until smooth. Add flour; pulse until just moistened and combined; do not overmix.
  • Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Drop raspberries into batter (4 to 6 per standard cupcake; 2 per mini) and sprinkle with slivered pistachios (1/2 teaspoon per standard: 1/4 teaspoon per mini). Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until golden brown, about 28 minutes for standard cupcakes, 14 for minis. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 to 2 containers (6 ounces each) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup slivered or chopped pistachios, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line standard or mini muffin tins with paper liners; coat liners with cooking spray. In a food processor, finely grind shelled pistachios with the sugar and salt. Add butter, vanilla, and eggs; process until smooth. Add flour; pulse until just moistened and combined (do not overmix).
  • Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Drop raspberries into batter (4 to 6 per standard tea cake; 2 per mini) and sprinkle with slivered pistachios. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until golden brown, about 28 minutes for standard cupcakes, 14 for minis. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cakes can be stored up to 2 days at room temperature in airtight containers.

Tips:

  • To ensure even baking, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This will help the batter to mix together smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined. If you're using a stand mixer, be careful not to overbeat the batter.
  • Be careful not to overfill the muffin tins. Fill them only about 2/3 full, or the cakes may overflow in the oven, making a mess and resulting in unevenly cooked cakes.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also bake these cakes in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time to 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cakes.

Conclusion:

These pistachio raspberry tea cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their moist and flavorful crumb, sweet and tangy frosting, and beautiful presentation, these cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give these cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
