Bakes with Tahini, Black Sesame, and Beyond... [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration with Tatiana Batch 447 [Black Sesame Halva Coffeecake ]( When I love an ingredient, I tend to go a bit overboard. And by that, I mean, my kitchen has nearly every permutation of black and white sesame out there: oil, seeds, powders, pastes and spreads, and candies. I use my arsenal of sesame for both baking and cooking — its nutty flavor means it can skew savory or sweet, depending on my mood. Myo Quinn's [Black Sesame Halva Coffeecake]( (above) is the coffeecake that changed my lukewarm feelings about coffeecake. Tender, moist, and filled with pockets of melted halva (a fudge-like, sesame-based confection), it's an irresistible combination of textures and loaded with nutty flavor thanks to black sesame seeds, chopped pecans, sesame oil, and the aforementioned halva. [Tahini Chocolate Bars]( are the perfect no-bake bar to keep in your back pocket for lazy summer days — and an [offset spatula]( will make spreading the layers even easier. I like to think of these as a dressed-up, nut-free take on the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup thanks to [high-quality chocolate](. I'm a sucker for soft, plushy cinnamon rolls, and [Tahini-Scallion Rolls]( are a dream savory counterpart. The sesame oil in the [bread flour](-based dough fills my kitchen with an incredible aroma once it's in the oven, and the tahini-scallion filling was destined to be paired with a spoonful of chili crisp. Baked into a batch of pull-apart rolls, this [Tahini Brioche]( has a lovely twist on the classic buttery bread. To really take it over the top, finish your roll off with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of flaky salt. Our [Black Sesame Cake]( has become my go-to when I take on the tall order of baking a birthday cake. No shade to the classic chocolate or vanilla, but they're no match for the black sesame's rich depth and complex flavor. Both times I've brought it to parties, it's been a hit. Friends still bring it up when they see me — no joke!
