Tahini Cake Recipe
Report
This Tahini Cake is a dense, moist dessert blending nutty tahini with fragrant orange juice and zest. Warm spices like cinnamon and cloves add depth, while cognac lends subtle complexity. The cake is baked until golden and finished with a dusting of cinnamon and icing sugar, offering a delicate sweetness and rich texture.
Description
The Tahini Cake Recipe combines tahini and superfine sugar into a fluffy base, enhanced by fresh orange juice and zest along with a splash of cognac. The batter is enriched with flour, cinnamon, ground cloves, and baking powder, producing a spice-tinged cake with a moist crumb. Baking in a 20 cm tin until a skewer comes out clean yields a golden crust and tender interior. The final dusting of cinnamon and icing sugar adds a touch of sweetness and aroma to complement the nutty tahini flavor.
