Why Saffron?

Saffron isn’t just a luxurious spice, it’s a tradition rooted in wellness. Dating back to ancient Greece, saffron has long been celebrated for its ability to help reduce stress, support long-term memory, and promote a relaxed state of mind. At Earth's Splendor, we believe every day should shine. That’s why we created Aurite® Saffron Capsules.

Whether you're whisking saffron into a cozy dessert or taking it as part of your wellness routine, this tiny flower has a big impact. Just one vibrant capsule delivers a concentrated dose—designed to help you feel calm, centered, and ready to shine from within.

The Perfect Spring Dessert

Saffron Milk Cake is a twist on the classic tres leches cake, featuring saffron-infused milk that soaks into a light, fluffy sponge. Topped with whipped cream and just a hint of cardamom, it’s perfect for spring gatherings, or simply treating yourself to something special.

Saffron Milk Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Make the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and saffron milk. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool.


2. Prepare the saffron milk: In a small saucepan, gently warm the whole milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and saffron threads over low heat. Stir until well combined, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.


3. Soak the cake: Once the cake has cooled, use a fork or skewer to poke holes all over the surface. Slowly pour the saffron milk mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to absorb fully. Let the cake chill in the fridge for at least an hour, or ideally overnight.


4. Add the topping: Spread whipped cream generously over the top of the chilled cake. Garnish with crushed pistachios or almonds, and a few extra saffron strands if you like. Slice and serve cold.
