Ingredients
Black sesame cupcakes
- 1¾ cups cake flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons oil (any neutral oil of choice)
- 2 tablespoons black tahini

Black sesame buttercream

- 2 tablespoons black tahini

Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 340°F/170°C and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs, sour cream, oil, and black tahini. Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the milk.
- Fill the cupcake liners slightly over halfway, about ⅔ of the way, and bake for 14-16 minutes. If you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean, they're done. Transfer them to a wire rack immediately and let them cool completely.
Frosting
- In a bowl, beat the butter and black tahini. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time and continue beating. Add the heavy cream and beat until fluffy.
- Put the frosting in a piping bag and frost each cupcake, and top with the white chocolate eyeballs.
