Delicate rose and pistachio cupcakes, perfect for a spring celebration. These cupcakes combine the fragrant sweetness of rosewater with the nutty crunch of pistachios.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in rose water.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pistachios.
Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cupcakes are best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
