Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pans
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup flavorless oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3/4 cup brewed coffee, at room temperature
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup tahini
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line the bottoms of two 8-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, tahini, oil, vanilla and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Whisk in the coffee.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 28 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes and then remove to the rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the butter and tahini until creamy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and mix to combine. Mix in the vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
  • Put one cake layer on a serving plate and top with some of the frosting, then top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake and serve at room temperature.
