Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup tahini
• ¼ cup light olive oil
• ½ cup light honey
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon orange blossom water or vanilla extract
• 2 pinches of salt
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons grated orange rind
• 2 cups flour (one part all purpose flour + one part whole wheat pastry flour)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons reduced fat milk
• FOR MARBLING
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons reduced fat milk

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 ºF
• Grease a 8 inch round springform cake pan and set aside. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and if needed the sides of the pan as well.
• Whisk the tahini with the oil. Add honey, sugar, flavors, salt and beat it until the mixture is fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time and continue to beat.
• Stir the grated orange rind into the mixture.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture and stir it in.
• Add just enough milk and gently whisk it into a mixture with a slow dropping consistency.
• Mix the marbling ingredients - cocoa, sugar and milk and stir it into one third of the cake batter.
• Layer half of the plain cake batter into the greased cake pan. Add dollops of the chocolate colored mixture. Layer the remaining plain cake batter on the top.
• Gently swirl a fork through the layers to create a marbling effect, but to do not overdo it.
• Bake in a preheated oven for about 50 to 60 minutes until a cake tester or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Remove the cake pan from the oven. Let it rest a few minutes and release the springform cake pan ring.
• Let the Tahini Orange Chocolate Marble Cake cool before serving.
