Black Sesame Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 cup black sesame seeds
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Sesame Paste:
¼ cup black sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or more as needed)
For the Glaze (optional):
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon black sesame paste (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
Toast 1 cup of black sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let cool, then grind them in a food processor until fine.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and light. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract, oil, and milk.
Add the ground black sesame seeds to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
To make the sesame paste: Blend the toasted sesame seeds with sugar and oil until smooth. Add more oil if necessary to achieve a paste consistency.
For the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and black sesame paste (if using) until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve.
Enjoy the nutty, creamy goodness of this unique black sesame cake!
