December 13th is St Lucia Day in Sweden and traditionally you have saffron bread on lucia “Lussekatter.” You can actually make anything saffron and this year I decided to make this amazing moist saffron cake, which was delicious. The saffron is not overpowering and the cake is not too sweet. Just a great light moist dessert…
