These pistachio cupcakes with strawberry buttercream<\/strong> are a go-to when I want something a little different from the usual cupcake flavors. They\u2019re always a crowd-pleaser! Many readers have even used this same batter to make a 6-inch cake<\/a>, too. The buttery pistachios blend beautifully with hints of vanilla and almond, all wrapped up in a soft and fluffy cake crumb.<\/em><\/p>\n

I originally published this recipe in 2017<\/strong> and have since added new photos and more success tips.<\/p>\n

One reader, Katie, commented: <\/strong>\u201cThe strawberry\/pistachio combination is brilliant. I\u2019ve made these two years in a row for my husband\u2019s birthday and they are our favorite cupcakes \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pistachio is an underrated flavor in the dessert world. The nuts are certainly delicious cracked open and eaten on their own, but even better when they shine as the main flavor in ice cream. Or pistachio cake<\/a>, or pistachio cookies<\/a>! Or, best of all, cupcakes. <\/p>\n

By the way, did you know that pistachio ice cream is usually flavored with almond extract? It complements the pistachio flavor.<\/p>\n
