Method

How to Make Pistachio Raspberry Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Combine the dry and wet mixtures gradually, alternating with milk, and gently fold in the raspberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth out the tops.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
  8. Beat the softened butter for the frosting in a large bowl until creamy.
  9. Add powdered sugar gradually while mixing on low speed, then incorporate milk and vanilla, beating until smooth.
  10. Stir in the ground pistachios.
  11. Layer one cooled cake on a serving plate and spread frosting on top.
  12. Stack the second layer on top and frost the entire cake.
  13. Garnish with additional raspberries and a sprinkle of ground pistachios.
  14. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
