French Style Almond Saffron Cake Recipe

Name: French Style Almond Saffron Cake
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 12 servings
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 1 cup milk; 0.5 teaspoon saffron; 2 cups all purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 0.5 teaspoon baking soda; 12 servings salt; 1 cup butter; 7 ounces almond paste / 8 oz can almond paste; 1 cup confectioners sugar; 5 large eggs; 8 ounces cream; 1 orange zest

This cake brings together the warm, aromatic notes of saffron and orange zest with the distinctive flavor of almond paste. The batter comes together easily in a stand mixer, creaming butter and almond paste until light and fluffy. Baked in two rounds, it's a lovely cake to serve plain, dusted with a little powdered sugar, or alongside fresh berries.
