Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and oil and flour (or line with baking paper) a 10-inch baking pan.

Make the cake: Transfer the sugar, the cinnamon, the cloves, and the salt to a bowl and stir to combine. Add the vanilla, the oil, the orange juice, the zest, and the baking soda and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and add them to the liquid mixture. Stir until the mixture is smooth and pour the cake batter into the pan.

Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes and invert onto a rack to cool completely.

Make the tahini chocolate ganache: Transfer the tahini, the maple syrup, the sugar, the salt, and the cinnamon to a small pot. Add the water gradually and stir until the mixture is homogenized. Heat over medium heat until steamy, remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it rest for 1 minute and stir until the chocolate is melted. Let it cool.

Spread the tahini ganache over the cooled cake and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
