You will also need a baking dish and parchment for baking. I have a round shape of 18 cm. Saffron Cake can be baked in any shape. Round or square.
How to make Saffron Cake
In the beginning, there was a little preparation. Turn the oven at 180 ° C / 350 ° F. Then put the parchment in the mold on the bottom and sides. Now let’s start preparing the Saffron Cake.
Pour hot water over dried cranberries for 10 minutes. So that she softens a little. Then you need to grind and grind the saffron thread. Cut the saffron straight away with a knife. Then crush in a mortar. If there is one. Or skip this step and immediately pour two tablespoons of hot water over the saffron. So that he brewed for 25 – 30 minutes. And go directly to the dough.
In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients. These are whole wheat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, and baking powder. Add oat milk, refined olive oil, dried cranberries, and saffron to the flour mixture along with water. Mix everything well. The dough should be of medium thickness.
Then place the dough on the parchment in a mold. I laid the parchment on the bottom and sides in one sheet. This way the cake does not stick to the mold and is easier to pull out.
