This is the kind of cake I could have for breakfast. It’s really deep and savory — not sweet at all.

| Total: | 1 hr |
| Active: | 20 min |
| Yield: | 6 to 8 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup semolina flour
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup superfine sugar
- Scant 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Use the tahini to “grease” the inside of a 7-inch savarin or tube pan. Mix the black and white sesame seeds together and sprinkle them evenly into the pan.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, semolina, turmeric, baking powder and sugar. Whisk to combine. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, oil and orange blossom water. Mix until you have a smooth batter and then pour into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a rack to cool. Serve while still a little warm with a strong cup of coffee.

Love it! Wouldn’t change a thing! I could not get my hands on Orange Blossom Water, but that was ok. Can’t wait to enjoy a slice for breakfast with a good cup of coffee!
