Pan-fried Chongming Cake

Overview

Chongming cake is one of Chongming’s specialty pastries. There are two kinds of sponge cake and hard cake. The ingredients are carefully selected, the ratio is reasonable, the sweetness is moderate, the pulp is appropriate, and it can be steamed or boiled. It is fragrant and loose, glutinous but not sticky. It is a special snack of Baodao Chongming. I went back to my mother-in-law's house last weekend and brought a few boxes of Chongming cakes to my friends. I also kept a box for myself. Usually this kind of cake is steamed or boiled. If you eat too much of the same method, you will get bored, so I simply fried it according to the Western method. I didn't expect it to be very delicious. The outer layer is fried, crispy and chewy, and the inner layer is soft, waxy and non-sticky, sweet and delicious. Let me share with you a different way of making special snacks!
