Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Use butter to grease 6 half-cup muffin molds or similar, or use smaller molds. Dust molds with cocoa and sprinkle the sesame seeds in the bottom of each. Sift together remaining 1/3 cup cocoa with the flour and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate and remaining 10 tablespoons butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, or in a small, heavy saucepan on very low heat. (Watch carefully if using a saucepan.) When almost completely melted, remove from heat and stir until smooth. Set aside.
- Using a whisk or electric beater, whisk eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir a little of this mixture into the tahini to lighten it, then stir the tahini into the egg mixture. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the cocoa mixture.
- Pour the batter into the molds and set molds on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake 12 to 14 minutes, less for smaller molds. A skewer or toothpick inserted in the middle should not come out clean.
- Cool 20 minutes or more before unmolding. Dust tops with lime zest and serve with crème fraîche or ice cream.

CHOCOLATE TAHINI SPREAD
Want a virtuous alternative to chocolate hazelnut spread? Tahini-tella is made with dark chocolate and tahini and makes morning toast into a no-guilt treat! I love to spread this on sourdough toast, then top with sliced banana and a sprinkling of cinnamon and sesame seeds.

CHOCOLATE-TAHINI FUDGE CAKE
Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Grease a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray or butter. Line the bottom with a parchment round. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl set over a saucepan with barely simmering water over medium-low heat, add the butter, tahini and chocolate chips. Gently cook, stirring occasionally, until just melted and smooth. Whisk in the granulated sugar until combined. Remove from the heat. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and salt and stir to combine. Add the flour and mix until just combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few fudgy crumbs and the sides pull slightly away from the pan. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- To assemble the cake, remove the cooled cake onto a platter or cake stand. Cut and serve with a dollop of Tahini Whipped Cream and crumbled halva on top.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar and salt. Beat on low speed until incorporated, then increase the speed to medium. Beat to medium peak and then add the tahini. Beat until smooth and just under a stiff peak.
CHOCOLATE TAHINI RUM CAKE
This an amazing chocolate cake which is very easy to make and is sheer heaven if you happen to love tahini. The recipe comes from Stelios Parliaros, a famous Greek pastry chef who has done much to introduce international desserts into Greek homes. It also happens to be completely vegan (or nistissimo) and oil-free. The only thing to watch out for is that the measurements have to be exact or it won't work. Use an electronic scale, measure the ingredients precisely and you can't go wrong.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees centigrade.
- Prepare the 24cm baking pan. Brush corn oil over the surface of the pan and then coat with sugar by adding in a cup, swirling it around until it covers the inside surface of the pan and then tipping out the excess onto a sheet of grease-proof paper. It can then be folded and poured back into the sugar canister.
- In a large bowl mix the tahini with a whisk so that any oil which had separated in the jar is incorporated.
- Add rum, orange juice and combine, then add icing sugar.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler and add to the mixture.
- Finally add the flour and a heaped teaspoon of baking powder and combine with the whisk. It will become quite thick with the addition of the flour.
- Pour into the pan and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the cake starts to smell good and comes away from the sides slightly.
- Turn out onto a wire rack and cool. Serve slightly warm with whipped cream.
- Note: that it will not rise so the pan should be full to the top. Also, the sugar coating makes the outside of the cake crunchy and sweet.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will be.
- Make sure the tahini is fresh and creamy. If it is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
This chocolate tahini cake is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this cake a try.
