DON"T BE AFRAID. Black Sesame-Pear Tea Cake is sooooo Delicious! We don't normally think Black when it comes to Baked Goods, but this works!
I would call this a Black Tahini Pear Tea Cake, because it really has that nutty Tahini flavor with a sweet crunch of the Demerara Sugar on top and the moistness of the pears inside. I could not put this down! I am having a piece of this with Ginger Tea right now, yummy. I personally think that really sweet cake matched with Tea takes away from the flavors of your Tea. Don't kill your taste buds with sugar! This "pearing" is a mild blend of flavors that work!
Again this came from Bon Appetit magazine March 2012 issue page 67
I would try to make these into muffins because they are so moist. Hey add some dark chocolate!
Think outside the box when doing flavor mixing. I am so board with the same old stuff. Aren't you???? Have fun with baking, be creative!
