Saffron Cake image

For best results, let the saffron and boiling water steep overnight, resulting in a lovely shade of yellow. Use a 13x9x2-inch pan. I hope you will enjoy this quick and easy to make, cake with a subtle floral flavor. It is lovely served with a dusting of icing sugar and a hot cup of tea.
