    Instructions
     

    For the Toasted Sesame and Sweetened Condensed Milk Bundt Cake

    • Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 325 (F). Prepare your cake pan by generously spraying with cooking spray.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
    • In the bowl of a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together 3/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy.
    • Once the butter and sugar is light and fluffy, turn the mixer to its lowest speed and slowly add 5 large egg yolks, one at a time, only adding the next egg yolk when the previous one before it has fully incorporated into the batter.
    • Once the egg yolks have been incorporated, turn off the mixer and whisk together 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk in a liquid measuring cup.
    • Turn on the mixer to its slowest speed and add the dry ingredients (from the 2nd step) in 3 parts, alternating with the sweetened condensed milk mixture (from the 5th step) in two parts. DO NOT OVERBEAT — simply beat together until all the ingredients have just been incorporated.
    • Transfer to your prepared cake pan, using a rubber spatula to spread the batter evenly across the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the top is a dark, golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack before unmolding.

    For the Chocolate Glaze

    • Toast 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a medium pan over medium-low heat until the sesame seeds start to brown and emit a nutty aroma — keep your eye on them, because once they start to brown, they brown really easily and are quick to burn! Once the seeds are toasted, immediately transfer to a plate on a wire rack to prevent further toasting.
    • In a medium, heat-proof glass bowl, combine 3.25 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 teaspoons water, and 2 teaspoons light corn syrup. Create a double boiler by setting the bowl of ingredients over a saucepan containing an inch of water, ensuring that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Cook the ingredients over medium heat, stirring together with a rubber spatula until melted and combined. If the mixture looks like it will seize, use a whisk. Once the ingredients have combined, transfer to a liquid measuring cup and use immediately — if you wait too long, the glaze will set and be difficult to work with!
