🍰 Desserts

Saffron-soaked milk cake layers, the Indian-bakery sensation that melts on contact. Deeply flavourful with a soft, even crumb and golden edges. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Prep 23 min Cook 38 min Serves 11 Hard

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, softened
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Saffrona pinch, soaked in warm milk
  • Eggs3
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 cup
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Condensed Milk1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.

  2. 2

    Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.

  3. 3

    Sift in the flour, saffron and leaveners and fold gently — stop the moment the batter comes together.

  4. 4

    Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.

  5. 5

    Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Ovens lie — an inexpensive thermometer is the cheapest upgrade to your baking.
