Hi Yasmin! I use australian cup measurements – I do now always try to include metric but this post was from a while ago when I wasn’t so meticulous! I haven’t converted them myself, but you could use these:
1 3/4 cups / 350g sugar
1 3/4 cups / 220g flour
1 cup / 100g cocoa powder
1 cup / 250ml whole milk
1/2 cup / 120g tahini
3/4 cup / 180ml boiling water

Hope that helps!

Hi Claudia,
I really want to try this recipe but I am in England and I’m struggling to convert the measurements accurately into metric. Online conversion tables are really inconsistent. Do you use American cup measures? and are you able to list the ingredients in metric measurements please?
Many thanks!!

I used your frosting idea on a 9 inch layer cake. Middle filling the vanilla tahini frosting and the outer frosting the chocolate. It was a nice mix! I also added a milk wash for moistness…whole milk with unsweetened cocoa powder and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Hi Elia, I don’t work with gluten free flour regularly unfortunately so am not really sure how it would affect this cake – it would depend on what type of flour you were using. Sorry I can’t be of more help!
