Thank you to everyone who commented on the original post for this cake. In my haste to publish I missed a few (embarrassing) typos and I’m REALLY sorry. I’m going to post all the notes about the process along with the updated recipe, below. I added details about the texture of the butter, as well, in response to Pete’s (petethesweet’s) note about it not creaming with the dry ingredients. Anyone who experienced a slumped cake: baking at 375°F as intended should address that.

This Toasted Sesame Cake won your votes by a nearly 2:1 margin, and now the recipe is here to win your hearts. That’s the single corniest thing I’ve ever written. Glad it’s behind me. I am very pleased with how recipe development is going for Book Three, and love all of the dishes I threw into the pool of contenders. They’re all winners in their own way. And yet, someone has to come out on top.
