This is a pretty good recipe. I found the cupcakes a little dry, though I'm willing to admit that the fault might be mine and not the recipe's. With icing on top, the reduced sweetness of these cupcakes was a benefit. Even with partially ground sesame seeds (my blender couldn't get them to a powder) they still had a lovely flavor not too far from poppy seed bread. The resulting gray color could be surprising for someone unfamiliar with black sesame sweets, so be sure to warn unknowing relatives. :)
