Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Grease the springform pan with butter and dust with flour.
Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until light and frothy.
Sift the flour, baking powder and saffron into the egg yolk mixture and mix until well combined. Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and stir into the egg yolk mixture along with the lemon zest.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture along with the chopped pine nuts and raisins. Spread into the prepared pan and sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool briefly before removing from the pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut into slices and serve.
