Saffron cupcake recipe

Saffron, the worlds most costly spice can be found in all Persian kitchens. Saffron adds lots of flavour, taste and a rich golden colour to different Persian desserts and dishes. This spice is one of the main ingredients of many traditional Persian desserts, such as Persian pudding, halva, saffron cookies and saffron cupcakes. There are different recipes for each of these desserts, and today we have one of the most original Saffron cupcake recipes.

Saffron cupcakes are one of the most delicious desserts suitable for different occasions such as parties, corporate events, wedding ceremonies, or even having an afternoon tea with family or friends. 

There are many different saffron cupcake recipes. Most of these cupcakes are with butter cream frosting and some have vanilla in the batter. Although the buttercream is delicious and to some extent is one of the major elements of a cupcake I came across very good feedback from some customers last December. Since then I have changed my saffron cupcake recipe compared to the cupcakes near me.

The originality of my recipe

The new edition of my recipe originates back to our one month stay at the Adelaide Central Market. As an experiment I invited people to test samples of the buttercream version and the new version. Over 85% of the tryers said that with the new edition the saffron flavour was amplified and the aroma was explicit. The new saffron cupcake was a fan favourite, and because of this sign I was excited to modify and update my recipe; which would blow up and receive amazing feedback.
