Cocoa Mulberry Tahini Cake
A flourless Turkish-style cocoa cake sweetened with finely ground dried mulberries and enriched with tahini.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C without the fan. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper.
-
Step 2
Pulse the dried mulberries and cocoa powder in the blender until they form a fine, evenly colored meal.
-
Step 3
Beat the eggs in the mixing bowl until pale, thickened, and foamy.
-
Step 4
Beat the tahini and milk into the eggs just until the mixture is smooth.
-
Step 5
Add the prepared mulberry-cocoa meal and baking powder. Fold gently until no dry pockets remain, then spread the batter evenly in the lined pan.
-
Step 6
Bake at 160°C for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and a skewer inserted in the middle emerges without wet batter.
-
Step 7
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it onto the wire rack and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing into 9 portions.
