【Tianjin】Dried cake

Overview

Dried cake is a delicious snack in Tianjin. Among them, Yangcun cake production began in the early Ming Dynasty and has a long history. It is the most authentic and famous. It is necessary to eat cakes during the Spring Festival, which symbolizes good fortune and good luck in the new year, and life is getting better and better. The dried cake is made by mixing rice flour and sugar and then steaming it. You can also add some fillings. The dried cake is beautiful in appearance, white and delicate. It tastes sweet, soft and delicious. The dried cake is easy to digest and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, removing dampness, replenishing the heart, calming the mind, and beautifying the body. The cake is generally rectangular, and since we don’t have a special mold at home, we use an egg tart tray instead. Although the cake has changed from long to round, the texture and taste are good.
