Serve this with coffee or tea. As per Dreamer's suggestion in her review, I have changed the amount of vanilla wafers needed. Crush enough wafers to have enough crumbs to coat your pan.

- Soak the saffron in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will help to release its full flavor and color.
- Use a fine mesh sieve to sift the flour and baking powder together. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
