Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams tahini
- 60 milliliters vegetable oil
- 180 milliliters milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the tahini, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully emulsified.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
