Qcake

Overview

There is a snack in Taiwan called St. Paul Q-cake. I accidentally ate it and was overwhelmed by its layers of texture. So I decided to try making a replica myself. Unexpectedly, the finished product was quite successful. Not difficult. It’s just that the steps are a bit cumbersome. It turns out that it contains red bean, egg yolk, meat floss and mochi filling. Since my kids don’t like salted egg yolk, I didn’t add it. I replaced the red bean filling with black sesame seeds, which was also good. You can try it if you like.
