9x5x3 inch loaf pan
Author Notes
Growing up in a Chinese household, I've always been a huge fan of sesame. A friend once told me when he visits his grandma, he would always frequent a particular stall to grab a coffee bun, which had the most glorious sesame filling. As a huge fan of cakes, I wanted to incorporate those flavours into a loaf cake that I could make for my family to have for breakfast and tea time. And a (seemingly) legit way to have caffeine-infused into our daily regimes.
