Chocolate Tahini Swirl Bundt Cake

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and adjust your oven rack to the center position. Generously coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with a flour-based baking spray.

2. Combine butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla; beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute.

3. On a low speed, beat the eggs in 1 at a time allowing each to fully mix in before adding the next. Be careful not to over-mix after the eggs have been added. Once the 3rd egg is combined, stop the mixer and add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed just until combined.

4. Transfer 1½ cups of cake batter to a medium bowl. Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler (or in the microwave in 30 second increments) until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in Chocolate Sea Salt Sesame Spread. Pour chocolate mixture into bowl of reserved cake batter and mix to combine.

5. Pour half of the vanilla cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, followed by the chocolate cake batter. Top with the remaining half of vanilla cake batter, and use a butter knife to gently swirl the cake batter layers together.

6. Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. Remove cake from the oven and let cool for 2 hours inside the pan. Then invert the cake onto a wire rack or serving dish. Let cool completely.

7. If desired, drizzle extra Chocolate Sea Salt over the cake right before serving.
