Today we bring you a recipe for an irresistible dessert and above all... Fair Trade! In this cake the protagonist is, besides chocolate, Panela sugar, which gives it a very peculiar flavour, texture and colour. Panela sugar helps to combat states of fatigue and tiredness and provides a lot of energy to the body. As it is unrefined, it is much richer in vitamins and minerals than white sugar.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 y ½ cup of Panela sugar
- 40g sesame
- 100g butter
- Cinnamon
- Chocolate coating 70% Fairtrade cocoa

STEP BY STEP
To begin with, we will prepare the sesame and cinnamon sponge cake.
- Beat the butter with the panela sugar and cinnamon (to taste) until smooth.
- Add the eggs and sesame seeds, mix well and gradually add the flour and baking powder while whisking.
- Grease the baking tin with butter and sprinkle with a little flour, pour in the mixture and bake in the oven at 180º for 30 minutes. Once baked, leave to cool.
- Melt the 70% cocoa chocolate and coat the sponge cake, finally decorate it with icing sugar and chocolate tears.
