Swirled Sesame - Tahini Tea Cake (Cake con sesamo negro y blanco)








I wanted to make this recipe a long time ago.
 But you already know about my fall and my arm recently I can cook and bake more. One of the things that still costs me is the manual mixer I feel very heavy but I do it in small times .

The ingredients is what I like most about this cake (and it's delicious) Sesame, cardamom, tahini, all this makes it delicious and original.
I like sesame.
 Let me tell you I'm happy to be here, a time ago  I couldn't even write on the computer!
This recipe is dedicate to a friend of mine that passed some weeks  ago : Jo Lamiri. 
She was a freelance food  writer, editor  and work in many  magazines , traveled a lot, and she love it. 
Love ya Jo and thanks for be always sweet and nice.
I will miss you a lot ...

The photos are a bit dark but that day it was raining!
Much love to all.

1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup plain whole yogurt
1/2 cup tahini
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Method


 Preheat oven to 180°c (350 "F) lightly coat a loaf pan (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch) about 22   x 11 cm . with nonstick spray or some oil. Line with parchment paper. Lightly coat parchment with nontick spray and sprinkle sides and bottom of pan with white and black sesame seeds and sugar and shake around in pan to coat. Tap out excess.

Using an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat eggs, vanilla and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl  until eggs  are pale and 
thick about 2 minutes.
Reduce speed to medium and, gradually stream in vegetable oil. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with yogurt mixture in 2 additions, begining and ending with dry ingredients.

Beat after each addition until fully  incorporated. Scrape half of batter into the bowl that held the dry ingredients.
Add reserved ground black sesame seeds to the remainin batter and mix on medium speed until evenly distributed- this is your black swirl.

Alternating between batters, spoon large dollops into prepared pan, then drag the tip of a paring knife through batter in a figure pattern to swirl. Sprinkle with more white and black sesame seeds and then with sugar.

Pears and strawberry Crumble (Crumble de peras , almendras, coco y frutillas)

If you ask me right now  which season I like best, I would say it is autumn so far.  Sincerely at this time I would be happy to be in Autumn and winter will come. But we are at the end of spring and starting with a very hot summer ,  and   with all the problems we are living here  in our  country now   is very hard. (Many fights here in many sites that is worry me) You can go out one day and you do not know if there will be subway or buses.  Or maybe you have an appointment with the kinesiologist and nobody tells you that he left earlier or that date was suspended, anyway. And when you ask why happens this, all say but you know the times we are living. Im not agree with it. In the middle of this I try to keep doing things like baking, reading and pray (like always reading is my my joy) And  I pray a lot by different reasons. Please pray   for for our country  we need it.  I made my first strawberry jam and I hope to make apricots jam soon. And I  made this crumble a few weeks ago (time

Baked-Egg Tartlets ( Tartas con huevo al horno y ensaladas)

Spring is just starting  here in the Southern hemisphere. But even the mornings are very cold.  But the most beautiful are the roses that have begun to bloom little by little. When we arrived at this house there was nothing, absolutely nothing around, no plants, trees, or flowers. The house was abandoned several years.(all these was about 10 years ago)  And these roses were brought to me( 10 years ago) by a lady who lived close our house  and said : you have to plant these roses, are amazing. We made. They are like a miracle. They have also multiplied over these years. Baked egg tartlets About the recipe are   simple and delicious individual tarts  with a mustard sauce and  egg inside that is baking in the oven. Are really  delicious. I love to serve  with  asparagus and some salads. A big hug to all and have a nice weekend!

Chocolate brownie muffins ( brownies /muffins de chocolate)

I had several recipes ready but it took me some time  start the posts, honestly it's hard  think what to talk about, maybe from here? of the current situation, of sorrows and distress, or  about Christmas that is so close and I love Christmas? Although I am not normally depressed, it is hard to keep the spirit when you watch the news, when there are fires, looting and other things, how did this come about? I dont know. Apart from praying, reading and baking (catharsis) I try to think about Christmas. Even in the most difficult times people celebrate Christmas, and I believe in God and the birth of Jesus, so I will try to take care of the Christmas spirit. Well, apart from continuing to make jams (apricots are maturing) and I don't like to bury the fruit so that's what I'm in. This recipe for "Brownie muffins" has the best of everything, it is a muffin with the taste of a brownie. Thank you all for your mails, love and concern, hugs and  kisses to all ! Source
