Cooking method

Cooking time: 1 h 25 min

Melt butter over low heat in a saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom. Mix the sifted flour with baking powder and vanilla, add salt, which successfully shades the taste. Mix the flour mixture with melted butter. The whites are separated from the yolks and left aside for a while. Rub the yolks with sugar, add to the dough, mix with a spatula until smooth.

Grind saffron in a mortar, pour a tablespoon of water. We give about 30 minutes for infusing and revealing the taste. Dried fruits are soaked in boiling water, this will allow them to swell a little, and will clear them of preservative solutions. Add to the dough, do not forget to cut into small pieces beforehand. Pour in the slightly warmed milk, saffron and mix.

Whisk the proteins to stable peaks, if necessary, you can add a little sugar. To speed up the result, it is better to cool the whites, whisk and whipping dishes in advance. Add the foam to the dough, mix gently, without sudden movements, trying to keep the maximum number of air bubbles inside.

Grease the baking dish with butter. If disposable paper forms are used, this item can be excluded. The dough rises very well, so we fill the form by 1/3 and put it in a preheated 180 degree oven for an hour. The time must be controlled additionally, it may vary depending on the capabilities of the oven.

For the glaze, take lemon juice, add a little water, and mix it with powdered sugar until a homogeneous state of liquid sour cream. If desired, the juice can be replaced with orange or grapefruit. The cooled cake is poured with icing, and when it freezes, we decorate it to your taste.

Enjoy a delicious and fragrant Easter cake!
