"Bazhen cake is said to be a cake that both Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi like. It turns out that this cake consists of eight things, namely Codonopsis pilosula (or ginseng), Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, Coix seed, lotus seed meat, Gordon Euryale, yam and white lentils. Most of these things are homologous products of medicine and food. They are combined together and have magical power. Bazhen cake is a recipe with double tones of yin and yang, which has a very good effect on regulating children's weakness of spleen and stomach, and can be adjusted accordingly according to the family's situation. This time, I made a flavored Bazhen cake, which removed the white lentils and replaced it with 50 grams of almonds, because almonds have the function of opening the lungs and clearing the large intestine. At the same time, raw hawthorn and fried malt are added, which can help digestion and eliminate food accumulation. The Bazhen cake made is full of almond flavor, with a tough taste and chewy almond flavor. "
