How to make Swedish saffron cake (New Years recipe)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 Celsius).
2. Whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract for about a minute or until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
3. In a saucepan, add the butter and the saffron and melt them over medium-low heat. Once it’s melted, pour the milk into the mixture and give everything a stir.
4. Mix together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl; flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Alternate the dry mix and the liquid, adding them in two stages to the egg mixture. Whisk everything until well combined, but don’t over mix the batter as it activates the gluten in the flour. Lastly, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
6. Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured baking dish, and sprinkle over a layer of the grated almond paste. Pour over the rest of the batter, making sure that everything’s one even layer.
7. Bake the cake in the oven for about 45 minutes. (Don't over-bake the cake, otherwise, it won't be moist and fluffy)
8. Once you remove the cake from the oven, let cool completely, and invert it on a platter. Lastly, dust the top with powdered sugar and serve.
