Slowly add the oil to the egg mixture while continuing to mix on low speed.
Add the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually fold in the flour mixture using a spatula or mix on low speed until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and tap gently to release any air bubbles.
Sprinkle the White sesame seeds on top
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
