• 5 tbsp of sesame seeds, plus 2 tbsp for coating

Directions

• Pre heat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Brush a 25cm bundt tin with the reserved tahini then coat the tahini with the 2 tbsp of sesame seeds. Set aside. Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add the oil while whisking gently. Add the orange juice and mix well. Whisk in the tahini and mix until well combined. Sift in the flour and baking powder then fold until combined. Add the sesame seeds and fold. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 50-60 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then remove from the tin to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
