This simple one bowl cake has an oh-so delicious punch from the strawberries and aroma from the saffron. Did someone say you cannot have a light sponge if you're making an eggless cake? Well, the cake angels have heard you guys. This cake is light, aromatic and goes really well with karak chai (Indian style tea). Or, try this with a dollop of yogurt for breakfast (Shhhh you can finally have cake for breakfast)!
