Ingredients
Saffron Sponge
- 75 g unsalted butter, softened
100 g caster sugar
3 egg yolks
190 ml plain flour
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
0.5 g saffron
180 ml milk
Meringue
- 3 egg whites
150–200 ml caster sugar
25 g flaked almonds
Follow these steps
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F), conventional heat. Line the base of a 25 × 35 cm baking tin with baking parchment.
- Assemble the Ankarsrum Assistent with the beater bowl and balloon whisks. Whisk the butter and caster sugar on medium speed until light and creamy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
- Sift the flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder and saffron into the bowl. Mix gently until combined, then add the milk and stir until you have a smooth batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared tin and set aside while you prepare the meringue.
- Place the egg whites in a clean glass or metal bowl. Whisk until they become white and foamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add the caster sugar while continuing to whisk. Keep whisking for 4–5 minutes, until the meringue is thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the cake batter, leaving about a 2 cm border around the edges, as the meringue will expand during baking. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
- Cut the cake in half lengthwise. Fill and top with vanilla whipped cream and fresh raspberries before serving. Enjoy!
