Here is the recipe for a surprising, soft and melt-in-the-mouth cake made with white sesame.
The step-by-step recipe for the white sesame fondant cake:
1. Butter a cake tin and place it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
2. Preheat your oven to 150 °C (gas mark 5).
3. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a bain-marie.
4. Next, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar and sesame paste until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
6. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.
7. Fold your chocolate/butter mixture into the egg yolk/sugar/sesame paste mixture. Mix well until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
8. Gently fold in the stiff egg whites, mixing slowly and thoroughly.
9. Remove your cake tin from the refrigerator and lightly dust with flour.
10. Pour your mixture into the cake tin.
11. Place in the oven at 150 °C (gas mark 5) for 45 minutes.
The sesame paste is relatively fluid and therefore very easy to work with. You will be surprised by its creaminess and very fruity flavour.
