I have a plethora of saffron, so.... REC: Saffron and Almond Cake
Saffron and almond cake, milk gelato and saffron syrup
serves 10 Milk Gelato: 175g caster sugar, 100g liquid glucose, 700ml milk Saffron Syrup: 170g (½ cup) caster sugar, pinch of saffron, 1 vanilla bean, split lengthways, seeds scraped Saffron Cake: 165ml (2/3 cup) milk; half-tsp saffron threads; 150g (1 cup) plain flour; 55g (half cup) almond meal; 220g (1 cup) caster sugar; 1 tsp baking powder; half tsp bicarbonate of soda; grated zest and juice of 1 orange; half tsp ground mixed spice; 1 large egg; 25g (quarter cup) flaked almonds. To make the milk gelato, combine the sugar, glucose and 250ml (1 cup) of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves – do not let the mixture boil. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining milk then refrigerate until cold. Churn in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions and store in the freezer. To make the saffron syrup, place the sugar, saffron, vanilla bean and seeds in a saucepan with 100ml water. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar then reduce the heat and simmer for a further 5 minutes until the mixture has reduced to a syrup consistency. Remove from the heat, discard the vanilla bean and set aside to cool. To make the saffron cake, preheat the oven to 190C. Grease and line a 20-22cm spring-form cake tin. Put 50ml of milk and the saffron in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring to a simmer then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, use a fork to combine the flour, almond meal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, orange zest and mixed spice, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, saffron-infused milk, egg and orange juice. Add to the dry ingredients and bring together with the fork, stirring until just combined. Pour into the prepared cake tin, scatter over the flaked almonds then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre. Cool briefly in the tin before turning out on to a wire rack. Drizzle over half of the saffron syrup and allow to cool to room temperature. To serve, cut the cake into wedges place in the centre of serving plates. Drizzle over the remaining syrup and serve with a generous spoon of milk gelato. |

I was thinking of that, but I'm afraid I'll end up with almond butter. ;-) koko --- http://www.kokoscorner.typepad.com updated 10/03 "There is no love more sincere than the love of food" George Bernard Shaw |

I had a devil of a time getting my almond butter nice and smooth, finally had to add a little oil. Lynne A |
