About Tahini cake

Tahini cake is a moist, nutty dessert that showcases the rich sesame flavors of tahini—a paste made from ground sesame seeds. Popular in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, this cake combines simple ingredients like flour, eggs, sugar, tahini, and sometimes honey or spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Tahini is a nutrient-dense ingredient, offering healthy fats, plant-based protein, and minerals like calcium and iron, making this cake a source of energy and nourishment. However, the added sugar and oils can make it calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those watching their sugar intake. With its natural flavors and wholesome sesame base, tahini cake is a delightful balance between indulgence and nutritional value, perfect for pairing with coffee or tea.
