Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the base of an 8-inch (20 cm) round pan with parchment and grease the base and sides.
2. Put the dates, water and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring now and then, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates are soft. Take off the heat and set aside.
3. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and set aside.
4. In another large bowl, cream the sugar and butter. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated. Add the tahini, date paste and vanilla, and beat on low speed until fully combined. Fold in the flour mixture in two batches.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
6. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. After 30 minutes, cover loosely with foil to stop over-browning. Let cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely.
