Sandwich a double sesame seed cake and chew it in your mouth. It tastes sweet, and glutinous rice is delicate, soft and tough. Don't underestimate, this small piece of cake has to go through more than a dozen processes to complete. "One of the processes requires glutinous rice and iron ore to be fried together, so that the double cooked cake is more fragrant." Mr. Li Lao said that the reason why it is called "white sugar double cooked cake" is because glutinous rice flour and white sugar are needed and cooked twice.
Li Datong Tea Restaurant was founded in the 14th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, and its founder Li Ruiqing was a famous pastry chef in southern Zhejiang in the late Qing Dynasty. Now we are engaged in double sesame cakes, flour tea cakes, hibiscus sugar, hollow moon, sesame and other tea cakes, and have won the honors of Chinese time-honored brands, Chinese famous snacks and Wenzhou well-known trademarks.

It is like a lamp, with a unique taste. It became famous for a while, so it was called "lamp cake". At present, the famous "King" and "Flat Head" light cakes in Wenzhou are stuffed with abalone, and the most common one is stuffed with shredded radish. I saw the master first spread a layer of pulp in the big spoon, filled the spoon with shredded radish and covered it with a layer of pulp. I heard from the master that the paste should be just right and look very thin, but it obviously overflowed the spoon but could not flow down. When this is done, put the spoon under the boiling oil and the fragrance will click. Just listening to the sound makes people drool, not to mention the aroma; After the lamp cake is fried in oil to a certain extent, it needs to be turned over. Lift the spoon, shake it a few times, shake off the oil, and then suddenly lift it. The cake will turn around in mid-air and then fall back into the spoon steadily.
