Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup 150 grams brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons 48 grams tahini, well-stirred
  • 2 tablespoons oil grapeseed, sunflower, or canola
  • ½ teaspoon 5 ml vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 70 grams flour
  • ¼ cup 30 grams buckwheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon 5 grams baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon 2 grams baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon 1 gram salt
  • 4 teaspoons 18 grams black sesame seeds, divided
  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed (258 grams)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line one 8-inch by 4-inch by 2-inch loaf pans with a piece of parchment long enough to hang over the sides (this helps to lift the cake out of the pan easily).
  • In a large bowl, add the sugar, egg, tahini, oil, and vanilla. Beat with a whisk until well combined.
  • Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and half of the sesame seeds. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula, just long enough until blended, and there are no visible signs of flour in the batter (it will be stiff).
  • Fold the bananas into the batter.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on top. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until a metal skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Set the pan on a wire rack, and let cool for at least one hour before slicing. The cake will stay fresh, wrapped tightly in parchment paper, for up to three days.
