Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2/3 cup finely chopped pistachios
• 1/4 cup dried rose petals
• 1/4 cup of butter for frosting
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped pistachios
• 1/4 cup of dried rose petals for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract.
4. Add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
5. Stir in the pistachios and rose petals until evenly distributed.
6. Divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
7. Allow to cool completely before frosting. To make the frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the pistachios. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with the rose petals. Serve.
