I love making Black Seed Cake because it offers a unique twist compared to regular cakes. It’s perfect for tea time or as a light dessert after dinner. I usually whip this up when I want something sweet but not overly filling. Plus, the black seeds give it an interesting crunch and a subtle flavor that my family finds delightful. I once forgot to lower the oven temperature and ended up with a slightly crispy edge, but everyone still raved about it! It’s these little moments that make cooking a fun adventure in my kitchen.
