Poria cocos cake, also known as Poria cocos sandwich cake, is a traditional nourishing snack in Beijing, and this cake is recommended to be the best in Daoxiang Village. The pancake is made of poria cream and refined white flour, with candied pine cone kernels melted and mixed with honey and sugar in the middle. It is shaped like a full moon, as thin as paper, as white as snow, and has a delicate and sweet aroma with a unique flavor.

As for the preparation method of Poria Cake, it was recorded as early as 800 years ago in the Southern Song Dynasty's "Confucian Affairs": "Four liang of Poria, two liang of white flour, mix with water to make cake, fry with yellow wax Cooked." But this kind of wax-fried pancake is not delicious. In the early Qing Dynasty, someone put forward the idea that "cakes are more expensive than loose ones, while cakes are thinner", so later cakes became thinner and thinner.
