HOW TO MAKE SAFFRON MILK CAKE?
First, take two bowls. Add 4 to 5 tbsp warm milk in a small bowl and 40 to 45 ml milk in a large bowl. Add cardamom powder. Then add saffron. Mix well. Add sugar to a large bowl. Here we use a small bowl of saffron milk in a cake batter. And set it aside from the large bowl of saffron milk for further use.
Now take a bowl. Crack the eggs. Add sugar in batches and whip the eggs well.
It takes 10 to 12 minutes. When the whipped eggs form ribbon-like consistency, add oil. Again mix it for 30 to 40 seconds.
Now add salt, baking powder, and vanilla essence. Add flour in two batches. Add a small bowl of saffron milk. Mix well.
The saffron cake batter is ready. Take a greased round cake tin. Pour the batter. Bake them for 25 to 30 minutes at 180 degress Celcius in a preheated oven.
After that allow it to cool down. Then remove the baking paper. Look at the texture. It is super fluffy and moist.
Cut them into two to three layers. Now, take some whipped cream.
Take a cake layer, and add saffron milk (a large bowl of sugar saffron milk). Add a layer of cream. Again repeat the layers.
Now for heart shape cake design. Take a knife, measure the cake center, then from the center cut the edges like this.
Then frost the opposite layer. And place the edges on the frosted side. That’s it, it looks like a heart shape cake.
Now frost the cake with cream. Smooth it well.
Now decorate it with some white chocolate crumbs. Add some golden pearls.
Your super delicious saffron cake is ready.
