Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast the pistachios for 6–8 minutes, let them cool, then grind finely.
In a bowl, combine ground pistachios, flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs with sugar until pale and fluffy. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until smooth.
Divide batter between two greased 8×8-inch pans and bake for 22–25 minutes. Cool completely.
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread half the filling and press 1 cup of raspberries into it.
Top with second cake layer. Pipe or spread remaining filling on top. Garnish with raspberries and edible flowers.
Chill 30 minutes before slicing for clean edges. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

This cake is best served slightly chilled or at room temperature. Chilling for at least 30 minutes before slicing helps achieve clean, beautiful edges. Feel free to adjust the amount of raspberries to your liking.
