I love this cake. Makes your whole house smell wonderful. If you can't find butternut flavoring, you can also use vanilla-butternut or a combination of vanilla, butter and any nut flavoring of your choice. It is important that you bake this cake in a cold oven - do not preheat!

Indian Saffron Rice
Indian saffron is darker and richer in red-orange color than Spanish or Italian saffron, giving rice a better flavor. You should always steep the saffron in hot water ahead of time and use part of the liquid in your recipe. This rice recipe is prepared in the Indian manner.
