Ingredients List

  • 1 ½ cups margarine

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup rice flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 6 room-temperature eggs

  • 2 cups lukewarm milk

  • 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup sesame seeds


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a medium glass baking dish.

  2. In a bowl, beat together margarine and 3 cups sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, rice flour, and baking powder; add them alternately with the milk, stirring well between each addition. Slowly stir in Parmesan cheese. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

  3. In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and sesame seeds. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the cake pan.

  4. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely, and cut into squares.
