For the honey tahini cake:
- 3 large eggs
- 150 grams (3/4 cup) sugar
- 60 grams (3 tbsp.) honey
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 125 ml. (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
- 125 ml. (1/2 cup) raw tahini paste
- 250 ml. (1 cup) water or milk
- 280 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 10 grams (2 tsp.) baking powder
For the glaze:
- 100 grams white chocolate
- 1 tbsp. raw tahini paste
For decoration:
- Halva strings
- Preheat the oven to 170c degrees and generously grease the pan using oil or soft butter.
- In a bowl, mix eggs, sugar, honey, salt, vanilla, oil, tahini and water until combined.
- Add flour and baking powder and mix until you get a uniform batter.
- Pour the batter into the pan and straighten the top.
- Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes or until it is set and golden.
- Cool a little at room temperature and turn on a serving dish. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Glaze: chop the chocolate and put in a bowl.
- Add the tahini and melt together in the microwave or over double-boiler until everything is melted and the mixture is uniform.
- Pour the glaze gently on top of the cake and let it drizzle a little on the sides.
- Garnish generously with halva and serve.
- The tahini cake is at its best at room temperature, so it is in the ideal texture.
- Keep the tahini cake in a closed container for up to a week.
- Instead of honey, you can use date syrup or maple to vary the flavors.
