Dissolve the sugar in the milk in a bowl.

In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients, then add the oil and milk mixture and stir.

Grease the baking pan with tahini, pour in the batter, and top with cashews or sesame seeds.

Place the pan in a preheated oven. Once baked, brush the top with simple syrup and butter, then return the pan to the hot oven (with the heat turned off) for a few minutes.
