Easy Sesame Coffee Cake

Sticky and sweet, this Sesame Coffee Cake is packed with flavor! My Middle Eastern-style recipe is loaded with tasty ingredients, all of which you can find in your local store but which together make for an exotic and out-of-the-ordinary bake. Sweet honey and rich tahini are the stars of the cake, with sesame seeds and nutmeg adding extra fragrance and texture.

I use vegetable oil instead of butter as it gives a lighter crumb and is more authentic to recipes from the region. This special cake is perfect for a coffee morning, bake sale or pot luck. If you’re looking for a sesame cake or coffee cake recipe, give this one a try!
