This stunning chocolate & halva cake is soft and gooey because it steams in a coffee bath while it bakes, turning it into a rich British pudding, full of sesame sweetness from chunks of halva and swirls of creamy tahini. Best of all, it's super easy, thanks to the Genius technique from Great British Bake-Off star Benjamina Ebuehi's cookbook "The New Way to Cake."
