I'm not a big fan of saffron, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The saffron flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cake was very moist and delicious.

The cake was a little dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter or oil next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try making it again with a little less sugar next time.

This saffron cake was a delightful treat! The flavor was perfectly balanced, with a subtle hint of saffron that complemented the sweetness of the cake. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the glaze added a touch of extra sweetness and shine.
