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

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting. This will help the ingredients mix together more smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry cakes.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the frosting.
  • If you don't have any pistachio pudding mix, you can make your own by blending 1 cup of pistachios, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.
  • Store the cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
