Hazelnut Sesame Seed Buttercake
I shortlisted this recipe which I thought will be good... and finally got to try it out in the weekends... and ... it's really good! the fragrance that wafted in the whole apt while it was baking, also when it was baked and cooling on the racks. However, i managed to resist cutting myself a slice when it was still warm (dun ask me how i did it tho'). When cooled, i wolfed down 2 big slices and had to stop myself from eating more 'coz it was 11pm at nite! LOL... Thanks to Gina who shared this recipe. I made some modifications to it tho' and below is the modified recipe:
What you need
What you need

try roasting the 2 types of sesame seeds before adding to the batter. brings out the nicest of all flavours and fragrance.

Ida, because the top part of the seeds looked pale white. Mine was more golden brown. At first my friend thought I added Flaxseeds. :)

Ching, try this cake. :)
Gina, I was careful not to over-toast the sesame seeds and also din wan to overbake the cake in case it turned out too dry.
Elyse, thanks for visiting!
