There is also a beautiful legend about sweet old lady cakes. Once upon a time, there was a loving couple whose daughter-in-law was willing to sell herself to treat the elderly. Undaunted, the widowed husband 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 this little cake to contain such a touching love story.
After countless years, until the beginning of the last century, the old lady's cakes were all single in variety and production method. It was not until the establishment of The Book of Rites Bakery that the old lady's cakes were further expanded and developed. After nearly a century's baptism, the book of rites cake industry has now become a century-old brand renowned at home and abroad, and the old lady cake has also developed from a single product to more than 20 varieties, hundreds of production methods and dozens of old lady cakes with different tastes. Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Europe and America have made the "Macao Special Sweet Old Lady Cake" by virtue of traditional handicraft, ancient secret system and modern advanced production technology.
There is also a kind of cake called "salty old man cake", which corresponds to "sweet old woman cake". They have slightly different shapes and unique tastes. The fillings of salty old cakes are mainly salty and pepper. "Sweet granny cake" is small in appearance and delicate in taste. After eating sesame seeds, I still feel that my lips and teeth are fragrant, and I am really as thoughtful as a little woman. "salty husband cake" is slightly larger in shape and tastes a bit like bread, but it is a bit like a careless big man.
Nowadays, many places sell old lady cakes in bulk or in boxes. But the stuffing of these old women's cakes is very dry (or it has been stored for too long and dried). The purpose of this course is to prolong the shelf life, but it loses the moist and smooth taste of the filling.
