Black Sesame Matcha Marble Cake

Print Recipe

This eye-catching, marbled loaf marries earthy matcha green tea with nutty black sesame tahini. Made with coconut milk and oil instead of butter, it’s soft, moist, and full of flavor—with a dramatic swirl to match.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Matcha Batter
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (115 g)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons matcha powder (12 g)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grapeseed oil (56 g)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar (125 g)
  • 1/4 cup light coconut milk (60 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Black Sesame Batter
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (115 g)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grapeseed oil (56 g)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons black sesame tahini (30 g)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar (125 g)
  • 1/4 cup light coconut milk (60 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease an 8×4×3-inch (20×10×7 cm) loaf pan, line with parchment leaving an overhang.
  2. In one bowl whisk flour, matcha, baking powder and salt. In another bowl whisk flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In separate bowls whisk eggs, oil, sugar, coconut milk and vanilla for matcha batter; whisk eggs, oil, tahini, sugar, coconut milk and vanilla for sesame batter.
  4. Gently fold dry into wet in each bowl until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Alternate scoops of matcha and sesame batters in pan to form about 4 layers.
  6. Drag a knife in a zigzag top-to-bottom and side-to-side to create marbling.
  7. Bake 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then lift out on wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Bring eggs and coconut milk to room temperature for smoother batter and even baking.
  • Spoon flour into measuring cup and level off to avoid dense cake.
  • Use a heavy-duty, nonstick pan for even heat distribution and easy release.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each to incorporate air.
  • Fold dry ingredients just until no streaks remain to prevent toughness.
