What should I do if Ejiao cake is too hard to cut?
Too hard donkey-hide gelatin cake is generally caused by putting too much donkey-hide gelatin and high proportion of gum in the donkey-hide gelatin cake, or it may be caused by boiling the donkey-hide gelatin cake for too long and evaporating too much water.
Generally, it is difficult to remedy these two situations. You can try to heat the Ejiao cake and coat a layer of yellow wine on the outer layer to see if it can be alleviated.
