In fact, Taigu cake is developed on the basis of "Yougan cake". Legend has it that the wife of a wealthy businessman in Gouzi village in the southeast of Taigu County suddenly wanted to eat cakes at night and sent someone to buy them. The cakes that could be bought back were not satisfactory, or greasy or hard. This matter spread to a biscuit shop, and the shopkeeper felt that his chance to make money came. He asked the old master in the shop to design a kind of "sweet cake", which was crisp and sweet, neither oily nor hard, so he sent the cake to the house. As a result, his wife was overjoyed, especially fond of eating, and after processing and transformation, Taigu cake was born.

This cookie is a solid baked cake made of white flour, sugar, sesame oil and egg white, with a diameter of about 12 cm and a thickness of about 3 cm in the middle. Its skin color is tea-yellow, and peeled white sesame seeds are stuck on it. Taigu cake has the characteristics of crisp but not hard, soft but not soft, sweet and not greasy, and its color, fragrance and taste will not change even after being stored for one month.

After Taigu Cake became famous far and wide, it also had a relationship with Cixi. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were wars and unrest. Cixi happened to pass Taigu County on her way to Chang 'an for refuge. At that time, Taigu Cake was very famous. Therefore, when Cixi had a meal, she tasted the Taigu cake recommended by the local parents. Cixi ate folk food at first sight, and she felt good and liked it very much. So it was positioned as a palace tribute. This also made the reputation of Taigu cake spread all over the country.
