I was served this in L’Aquila. Chocolate Cake with Saffron Custard – the presentation was beautiful. The saffron custard added dramatic contrast to the cake, a bitter sweet flavor.
Next time you make a custard, the classic: (egg yolks,cream,sugar,butter), add a thread of saffron …..When I head back to L’Aquila in June, I will share the recipe.
a presto,
