- Fold in the saffron soaked in 2 tablespoons of rose water, and mix it gently to evenly distribute the saffron strands.
For the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of finely blended flour with baking powder, cardamom, and a pinch of salt to form the dry ingredient mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the liquid ingredients while mixing until you get a smooth batter.
For the Kiri Creme
- In another bowl, combine 5 Kiri Square Portions, ½ cup of fresh cream, 1 cup of condensed sweetened milk, 1 teaspoon of rose water, and a sprinkle of saffron. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cake batter into a greased baking pan. Then, spoon the Kiri Creme mixture on top of the batter and swirl it gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool, then slice and serve.
