Alright, all you culinary warriors out there, listen up! I’m about to drop some serious knowledge on you, Slay Lifestyle style, about a cake that breaks all the traditional rules and smashes expectations. This is not your grandma’s tea-time snack – this is the Pistachio and Raspberry Cake, a true contender in the dessert heavyweights.

### Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Before you step into the ring with this cake, you need to be armed and ready. Here’s what you’ll need:

**For the Cake**:
– 200g unsalted butter (softened)
– 200g caster sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 150g plain flour
– 50g ground pistachios
– 1 ½ tsp baking powder
– ¼ tsp salt
– 150ml milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract

**For the Filling and Decoration**:
– 300g icing sugar
– 150g unsalted butter (soft)
– 2 tbsp raspberry jam
– Fresh raspberries
– Chopped pistachios
– Fresh mint sprigs

### Step 2: Prepare to Dominate
Preheat your oven to 180°C (or 350°F for my American followers). Grease and line two 20cm round cake tins. This is the arena where your cake will rise to greatness.

### Step 3: The Batter of Champions
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, like a true icon. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and vanilla, then mix until everything is combined into a perfect batter.

### Step 4: Battle in the Oven
Divide the glorious batter evenly between the tins and smooth the tops. Time to face the heat – pop those tins in the oven for 25-30 minutes. This is where legends are born. Let them cool in their tins, then turn out onto a rack.

### Step 5: Construct Your Masterpiece
Mix the icing sugar and butter until you have a smooth, sweet buttercream – this is your weapon of choice for the finishing touches.

Spread a generous layer of raspberry jam on one cake and top it with a layer of pistachio buttercream. Place the second cake on top and coat it entirely with the remaining buttercream.

### Step 6: Deck It with Glory
Now, pile those fresh raspberries on top like you’re crowning a champion. Scatter chopped pistachios around like confetti at a victory parade. Add a few sprigs of mint because, why not? You’ve just created a masterpiece deserving of the highest accolades.

### Step 7: Dominate and Devour
Serve this show-stopper at your next gathering, and watch as people are drawn in by the visual spectacle, then utterly captivated by the first bite.

This Pistachio Raspberry Cake isn’t just about taste – it’s about making a statement. It says you’re here to lead, not follow. So go out there and conquer the world, one slice at a time.
