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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the tahini, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully emulsified.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
