Easter Saffron Bundt Cake with icing.
Bundt cake is usually associated with Easter holidays. In Poland, this type of cake is called ‘Babka’ and it means ‘older women’. The name comes from the shape of the skirt ladies used to wear back in the old days (narrower at the waist and wider at the bottom with big frills). Today, many people cannot imagine Easter without a good ‘Babka’.

Ingredients
2 and 3/4 cup of all purpose flour
2 and 1/2 cup of caster sugar
230g of butter
4 medium size eggs
1 cup of warm milk, 3,2%
1/2 tsp of saffron
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 tsp of backing powder
3/4 tbs of salt
Directions
- Make sure all your ingredients are room temperature.
- Mix the butter until fluffy, then add sugar. Mix together for about 5 minutes.
- Add eggs, one by one, constantly stirring.
- In a separate bowl mix flour, backing powder and salt.
- Add saffron to the warm milk and stir together.
- Mix in a bit of flour mix into the butter, sugar and eggs. Keep mixing, then pour a bit of a milk mixture in. Keep on doing this until all of the flour and milk are incorporated into the batter. Make sure the last part you add will be flour (not milk). This will help to keep the batter nice and fluffy.
- Smear (or spray) the baking form with the butter or oil. Coat the form with some flour (shake off the excess).
- Pour the batter into the form.
- Bake for 1 hour at 175°C.
- Once cooled completely, you can decorate the cake with icing of your choice. One of my favorites icings is 5 tablespoons of sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk. You can add more sugar or milk depending on how thick you want your icing. Alternatively, this cake will also look delicious with sprinkle of icing sugar on top.
