Coffee Chiffon Cake With Sesame Seeds

This is my fifth attempt in baking a chiffon cake.  Since the quantity for the ingredients are small, I tried to measure using measuring spoons and I am happy the result is satisfactory. [I did fail before probably because of the eggs or the beating processes have gone wrong but the cake is still edible eventhough the texture is not that attractive]. But this is a good recipe to keep.  Rest assured, I will only post recipes which I am happy with the results.

Prepare ingredients as follows.
