If you have never made a saffron cake at home before then you should definitely try this recipe. You do not need many difficult ingredients and it is very easy to make at home. This cake tastes especially delicious with a cup of tea.
So without wasting any more time let’s start making our delicious and fragrant Saffron Cake.
First take a large bowl and add 3 eggs. Beat the eggs very well. Then add sugar a little salt and vanilla essence. Beat everything well until the color of the eggs becomes lighter and the mixture looks fluffy.
Now let’s prepare our dry ingredients. For this we need 2 cups of all purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Sift both ingredients well. Sifting the flour is very important because it adds air to the flour and helps make the cake soft and fluffy.
Now add half a cup of oil to the egg mixture and mix it well.
Next take half a cup of water and add saffron to it. Boil it well so that the beautiful color and lovely aroma of the saffron come out into the water. Once the saffron water is ready let it cool a little. Then add it to the wet mixture and mix everything well so the saffron flavor and aroma spread throughout the mixture.
Now take the flour and baking powder that we sifted earlier and add them little by little to the mixture. Do not beat the batter after adding the flour. Mix it gently with a spatula or spoon. This will help keep the batter light and make the cake soft and fluffy.
Now grease your cake pan well with oil or butter. Pour the prepared batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Once the oven is hot place the cake pan inside and bake the cake for about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes check the cake. You can insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean it means the cake is ready. If the cake is not fully baked then bake it for another 10 minutes.
And there you have it our beautiful soft and fragrant Saffron Cake is ready.
Let the cake cool for a little while before removing it from the pan. You can serve it as it is or decorate it according to your choice.
