Does anyone know how the "old lady cake" came from?
Legend has it that there was once a loving couple whose daughter-in-law was willing to sell herself to treat the elderly. Undaunted, the husband who lost his wife worked hard to develop a delicious cake, and finally redeemed his wife by selling the cake and lived a happy life again. This gourmet recipe has been called "old woman cake" since it came out. I didn't expect such a touching love story in this cupcake.

Another legend about the old lady's cake comes from the Lotus Teahouse in Guangzhou. Anyone who has been to Guangzhou knows that Lotus Fragrant Tea House is a famous shop in Guangzhou, and Chaozhou granny cake is its housekeeping snack. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Lianxianglou hired a Chaozhou master. One year, he went home to visit relatives and brought many snacks from Lianxianglou to his family. Who knows that his wife was greatly dissatisfied after eating dim sum: "The dim sum in Lianxianglou is not as delicious as the fried melon horn in my house." After listening to his wife's words, the pastry chef was unconvinced: "Then be the melon corner of your mother's house and compare it with the snacks in Lianxianglou!" The next day, my wife prepared a pot of wax gourd, filled it with white sugar and flour, then wrapped it into small corners with flour and fried it in an oil pan until golden brown. The pastry chef took a sip and praised it again and again. After returning to Guangzhou, he took the melon horn made by his wife to the masters of the teahouse to taste. The owner of Lianxianglou has never seen any snacks. However, after they ate melon seeds, they were full of praise. The owner of Lianxianglou knew about it and came to taste one. The boss said, "Well, it's delicious! Where is this famous spot? What's its name? " Master Chaozhou couldn't answer for a moment, so one of the masters said, "This was made by Master Chaozhou's wife. Let's call it Chaozhou Grandma Cake. "

Interestingly, there is also a kind of cake called "husband cake" corresponding to "old woman cake", which has a slightly different shape and unique taste. The "old woman cake" is small in shape and delicate in taste. I still feel fragrant after eating sesame seeds, and I am really as meticulous and thoughtful as a little woman. The "husband cake" is slightly larger in shape and tastes a bit like bread, but it is a bit like a careless big man.
