Sweet Sesame Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease two 900g loaf tins (8.5cm deep) and line with baking parchment.
• First, make the chocolate cake mixture. Put the butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Put all the other ingredients in a large mixing bowl and, when the chocolate and butter have melted, pour over and mix with an electric whisk until smooth and well combined. Set aside and rinse the beaters.
• In another large bowl, add all the sesame cake ingredients, then combine with an electric whisk until smooth.
• Alternating with dollops of each mixture, divide between the two tins. Level the top, then swirl a skewer through the mixture to create a marbled effect. Bake in the middle of the oven for 45-50 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack while you make the topping (there's enough for both cakes but the topping recipe is easily halved if you want to freeze one and ice it later)
• Heat the double cream and butter together gently in a small pan until just simmering, then remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Stir until the mixture is smooth, then place in the fridge for 20 mins to firm up.
• Beat well with a wooden spoon, then transfer to a disposable piping bag. Snip the end off to make a wide opening, then pipe thick, overlapping zigzags across the cakes. Cut the sesame snaps into shards and arrange on top, scattering over any crumbs, then serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line four baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda, and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat until combined. Add reserved flour mixture, and beat until combined. Add toasted sesame seeds, and beat until incorporated.
• Using a spoon, drop cookie batter, about 1 tablespoon at a time, onto prepared baking sheets, allowing at least 2 inches between cookies for spreading.
• Bake until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'. Line a 10x5 loaf pan w/parchment paper & grease OR grease & flour a nonstick loaf pan.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds. Lightly toast the rest on a baking sheet in the oven or on stovetop in nonstick pan. Watch well so they don't get too dark or overly toasted.
• Sift flour, salt & baking powder into a bowl. Stir in toasted sesame seeds & set aside.
• Cream butter & sugar together by hand or with mixer until light & fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Then stir in lemon zest & milk.
• Pour milk mixture over dry ingredients & fold together until just blended. Pour into prepared pan & sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds (should completely cover entire top).
• Bake for about 1 Hr until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 min's before unmolding.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat corn oil and sesame oil in a large skillet. Add carrots, green bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and fish soup stock. Mix in garlic and ginger. Let cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix turkey, pork, and eggs together in a large bowl until blended. Stir in cooled carrot mixture and bread crumbs until well combined. Press evenly into a loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 minutes more.
• Let stand before serving, about 5 minutes.
