  3. Add 2 tbsp sugar. It provides the cake with its characteristic sweetness, balancing the rich flavors.
  4. Add a few saffron (kesar) strands. Saffron imparts a beautiful golden hue to the cake, making it visually appealing. It provides a subtle, floral flavor that complements the sweetness of the cake.
  5. Add ¼ tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder. Cardamom's warm, spicy aroma contributes to the overall fragrance of the cake.
  6. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes until it slightly thickens. Keep aside.

  1. In a deep bowl, add ½ cup melted butter. Butter provides a rich, buttery flavor that complements the sweetness and floral notes of the saffron.
  2. Add ¼ cup fresh curd (dahi). Curd acts as a natural leavening agent, helping the cake to rise and become soft and tender. It contributes to the cake's moist texture.
  3. Add ¼ cup fresh cream. Fresh cream is a high-fat dairy product that contributes to the cake's overall richness and creaminess. It provides a luxurious texture that complements the sweetness of the saffron milk and the cake itself.
  4. Add ½ tsp vanilla extract. Vanilla extract imparts a delightful, sweet, and warm flavor to the cake. This enhances the overall taste and aroma of the dessert.
  5. Add ¼ cardamom (elaichi) powder. Cardamom's warm, spicy aroma contributes to the overall fragrance of the cake.
  6. Whisk well.

  8. Add ½ cup powdered sugar. Powdered sugar dissolves more easily than granulated sugar, contributing to a smooth and tender texture in the cake.
  9. Add 1 cup plain flour (maida). Plain flour is the foundation of the cake, providing the necessary structure, texture, and volume.
