If I make this in a bundt pan do you think I should double the recipe? It sounds delicious but I only have one bread pan and I need to feed more people.

Oh man did I like this cake~ I made this on a whim because I love anything black sesame. I used 1/8cup of dutch processed cocoa instead of the full 1/4cup and I’m glad I did, the chocolate and sesame flavor perfectly complimented each other. Mine did finish baking around ~40 min so I’m glad I kept an eye on it. But as I’m typing this now, the cake has been fully devoured. It’s not too sweet at all (my asian aunties can attest), and call me crazy but I feel like it kind of tastes like the cookie part of an oreo(??). Anyhow, I personally find chocolate cakes kind of blasé if you will, but this is way more fun and delicious! I’ve also never made a vegan cake or any cake without eggs before, so that’s one inhibition off the baking list. Thanks for sharing the recipe <3 ! Will definitely make again and again~

I’m seriously in love with this cake. I compare it to a chocolate glazed doughnut. I didn’t have matcha powder on hand, so I just made a straight-forward icing with powdered sugar and almond milk – tastes like a glaze! My husband and I literally finished it in two days lol. I’m making it again for my mom’s birthday! Thanks so much for awesome recipes, Hannah <3

I think overall this was a successful recipe. When I made the batter, I found it to be very thick, so I decided to add an egg. I also cooked a small test batch in the microwave and found the sesame flavor lacking and kind of competing with the chocolate flavor, which kind of made the sesame taste weird (and I love black sesame flavor!). Because of this, I ended up adding mini chocolate chips so it would lean more on the chocolate side of flavor. I think I would have just omitted the black sesame altogether or the chocolate/cocoa powder.

However, the result was a super moist cake that wasn’t too sweet! I was pretty surprised because I didn’t know what to expect since I added an egg and chocolate chips.

I didn’t make the matcha glaze unfortunately, since I didn’t have it in my pantry. But I did make a coffee Swiss meringue buttercream and it was pretty tasty.

Thanks for the recipe Hannah!
