Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup honey

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Sesame Honey Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cone-shaped cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, blend in the honey until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the toasted sesame seeds gently to distribute throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle extra honey over the top and sprinkle with additional sesame seeds for decoration.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
- Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden to enhance their flavor.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the honey drizzle to prevent it from running off.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half of the honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- Add lemon zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.
- Incorporate chopped nuts, like walnuts or almonds, for added texture.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche.
- Fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries for a pop of color.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a rich pairing.
- Green tea or chai for a warm beverage complement.
