Tea Break - Black Sesame Seeds Cake

It is my neighbour Mrs. Leong who baked this Black Sesame Seeds Cake, topped with Crushed Walnut.

This is the "sample cake testing "  as her first time baking of this cake.

How about the recipe ? 

I am sorry , it' s her "secret recipe " that she might read it somewhere on a baking cookbook. But I could taste some salt in this cake. She might use cooking oil instead of butter.

Anyway, I will make a suggestion to her that the cake will even taste better if she could mix more walnut into the cake !

Tea Break Menu :

1. Black Sesame Seeds Cake

2. Half a mug of black coffee ( with a teaspoon of brown sugar )

Brewing the tea.

Chilli padi  , garlic and soy sauce.
