Saffron cake recipe
In one cup, warm milk and add a saffron spoon stir well until the milk turns a little bit yellow, then keep this aside. In a big bowl, add 1 sugar cup with 3 eggs, 1⁄2 cup of oil, a tsp of vanilla essence and whisk all the ingredients well until they are a homogeneous mixture, now add the soaked saffron and mix it again but gently and slowly.
Next, you're going to sieve 1 cup of flour and a tsp of baking powder and fold in the flour until there are no lumps in the mixture. Now the cake batter is ready, but you need to reserve it before putting it in the oven. Grease the baking dish of your preference with some oil and coat the dish with some flour. These steps are going to make it easier to separate the mixture before the time in the oven, with the baking dish ready, pour the cake batter into and transfer it to an oven preheated at 200° celsius. Bake for 30 - 45 minutes at 180 degree celsius or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Now we have to prepare the saffron milk, first of all, heat 2 milk cups with 1⁄2 tsp of saffron and boil it for 5 - 7 minutes. The saffron will turn the milk a little bit yellow and start to smell sweet, at this point we have to add 1⁄2 tin of sweetened condensed milk and 1⁄2 cup of cream. Stir well until the cream dissolves, as simple as this the saffron milk is ready, just remove from heat and let it cool down completely.
Take out the cake from the oven and let it rest for 5 - 7 minutes, take a skewer and prick the cake with, this allows it to absorb more saffron milk. Pour 1⁄2 of the prepared saffron milk, let the cake absorb and cover it with cling film. Let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Slap on 250 ml of whipping cream on a bowl and whip until soft peaks, fill the whipped cream in a piping bag with star nozzle. Start piping the cream all over the cake and add some saffron on top for a very best presentation. You’re ready to enjoy this amazing dish.
