Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

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.
