Pistachio Cupcakes from The Heartland
{If you haven’t met Dawn from Beat Until Fluffy, you are missing out. This girl bakes up a storm e.v.e.r.y. day and then shares her recipes with us. }
Cupcakes
1 Box White (or yellow) Cake Mix
1 Small Box Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix
4 Eggs (room temperature)
3/4 Cup Oil (vegetable or whatever, just not olive oil)
3/4 Cup + 1 Tbsp Water
Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your 12-muffin pan with baking cups and spritz them with cooking spray. In your mixer bowl, combine all ingredients and beat until well combined. Spoon into muffin cups, fill them about 1/3 to 1/2 full. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes or until they test done. Cool on wire racks then frost. You’ll get around 2 dozen cupcakes out of this batter.
Frosting
2 Cups Confectioner’s Sugar
5 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
3 Tbsp Whole Milk
Few Drops Pure Vanilla Extract
3 Drops Green Food Coloring
In your mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar until well combined and you have a grainy consistency. Combine vanilla and milk and slowly dribble into mixture as the beater(s) is going. ‘Beat Until Fluffy’ and frost the cupcakes. I piped it from a zip lock bag with the corner snipped off.
