Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan with grease and parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in sour cream and zest of blood oranges.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. For the streusel, mix black sesame seeds, all-purpose flour, and melted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle streusel topping on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
