These luxurious tahini chocolate cakes from the cookbook "Smashing Plates" by Maria Elia are served with crème fraîche, dusted with lime zest, and are ideal for those seeking to indulge their sweet tooth with something small and fudgy.
03Using a whisk or electric beater, whisk eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir a little of this mixture into the tahini to lighten it, then stir the tahini into the egg mixture. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the cocoa mixture.
04Pour the batter into the molds and set molds on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake 12 to 14 minutes, less for smaller molds. A skewer or toothpick inserted in the middle should not come out clean.
05Cool 20 minutes or more before unmolding. Dust tops with lime zest and serve with crème fraîche or ice cream.
