    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 4 large eggs
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
    • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, soaked in 2 tablespoons warm milk
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
    2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cardamom.
    5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the saffron-infused milk and vanilla extract.
    6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the saffron milk. Mix until just combined.
    7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    9. Serve: Slice and enjoy your Fragrant Saffron and Cardamom Cake on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar! ❤️🍽️
