Figs & Saffron cake is a delicious light cake made using fresh figs & flavored with saffron.
The long season of summers is coming to an end and what a better way to start it with our favorite fruits Figs. We love fresh figs. Literally wait for the start of figs season. Today I am sharing with you the cake recipe using fresh figs infused with the flavors of saffron with a touch of cardamom. Sounds heavenly right.
It’s a perfect cake to be enjoyed with friends with a cup of coffee. It’s light, rich in flavor and full of sweetness of figs.
I have adapted this recipe from Nytimes . Method used to prepare this cake is assembling dry & wet ingredients separately. And then mixing both.Use of saffron is optional . Vanilla extract can be used instead. But as we are bit partial towards saffron, many of my bakes includes saffron for flavoring. I have used a 6″inch pan to bake this cake.
