Advice
Do not overbake the cake, because the best texture is slightly soft and chewy in the center, not dry or firm like a regular sponge. ๐ค
Why it works ๐ก
Glutinous rice flour gives the dessert its signature mochi chew, while black sesame brings depth, aroma, and that dramatic roasted flavor that makes the cake feel both traditional and modern at the same time. โจ
Twist ๐ถ๏ธ
Add 40 g sweet red bean paste (2 tbsp / 1.4 oz) in small dollops over the batter before baking for a more classic Chinese bakery-style version with extra richness and contrast. โค๏ธ
