Cake de peras con sésamo negro
Me encantó la idea de hacer este cake desde la primera vez que lo vin en Bon Appetit y la dejé reservada para cuando pudiera hacerla (son tantas las recetas:)
con las recetas me pasa que veo una receta y me enamoro así nada más, digo, esta me gustaría hacerla
y otras para nada, es cosa de amor creo yo. En todo caso no me falla cuando mr tinca generalmente era buena. Recomiendo este cake sobre todopor las peras quedan tan ricas en los cakes,y el sésamo negro le da un toque.
El sésamo negro lo pueden encontrar en negocios de productos asiáticos.
Ingredientes

Pat I think you would enjoyb this cake, and yes you are the first ;)
DeleteI challenge any woman to bake me a cake that I actually enjoy haha.
Deletereally? sure you would!:)
DeleteI heard someone knockin' on my door, saying 'Hellooooo where are you?' Well, I was at work, Gloria, and you can imagine how glad I am it's weekend again. That's W.E.E.K.E.N.D! Sing along: #W.E.E.K.E.N.D#. That's the spirit! So tell me, what you got cooking today ;)
DeleteWhat you think about aa chocolate mousse??
DeleteCome soon!
Gloria, I'd never heard of a pear and black sesame seed cake before. It looks great but my better half wouldn't like it. She fusses about sesame seeds getting caught in her teeth... Thanks and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteoh dear I understand black sesame is something new but is really nice, Anyway you can make without the sesame seeds;)
DeleteEat a cool idea, love the texture
ReplyDeleteThanks Anu, is delicious!
DeleteAh, qué delicia de torta! Sabes no he probado aún el sésamo negro, pero sí lo he visto y pensaba si sabe como el blanco o si sabe como el comino romano. Este fin de semana preparé una torta con harina de centeno y frutillas, seguramente te gustará porque es healthy, la postearé esta semana. Un beso,
ReplyDeleteMira Myriam yo lo encontré delicioso, sabe a semillas de amapola, como un poco a nuez, es más liviano que el sésamo blanco.) Veré tu receta cuando la pongas.
