黑芝麻核桃牛油蛋糕

Saw this 黑芝麻核桃牛油蛋糕 recipe from Ching blog and at first it did not come into my mind that i wanted to do this, but pass by a shop and saw the black sesame and walnut, so bought it. My mixer broke down last week and have bought a new one, first cake to bake using the new mixer.




Think i did not use powder, so my cake turn out like that and the walnut sink inside the cake.


Just now saw black sesame powder in the supermarket and bought a packet, will make again when i 心血来潮.
