Haitang cake
Begonia cake was founded in Qing Dynasty, which is famous for its shape like begonia flower, and has gradually become one of Wuxi-style snacks. Just like the plum blossom cake in Suzhou, it is a colorful snack with a long history. It is sweet and delicious, especially hot food.
Begonia cake belongs to the older generation. I'm afraid many young people have never eaten it.
The shapes of plum blossoms and begonia flowers are pleasing to the eye without eating them.
They are baked in a special mold, with a flour shell outside and a bean paste filling inside.
Because there are molds like plum blossom and begonia flower, it is natural to make such beautiful embryos. The freshly baked plum blossom and begonia cake is brown, with caramel color on the surface, and it tastes particularly sweet. It is also decorated with five colors, such as shredded fruit, melon seeds and sesame seeds, to make the flowers bloom completely. Therefore, it is interesting to eat Haitang cake, and it is also interesting to watch the chef in the store make Haitang cake.
