Saffron Cake
This is genuine Swedish Adventsfika!
Saffron Cake
1 g saffron
200 g butter
2 eggs
300 ml sugar (about 300 g)
150 ml milk (0,6 cups or 150 g)
400 ml all-purpose flour (240 g)
2 tsp baking powder
Confectioner's sugar to garnish
Melt the butter, and stir in the saffron. Add the milk and let the mixture cool a little.
Beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and baking powder.
Carefully stir in the butter mixture.
Pour into a buttered and floured pan, preferrably a springform with loose sides.
Bake at 175°C for 40-45 minutes, until the cake is no longer sticky in the middle and has started to shrink away from the sides of the pan.
When cool, decorate with sifted confectioner's sugar.
Enjoy!
Looks good! I wonder if we have saffron butter?
