Hundred-Fruit Cake

Hundred-Fruit Cake

　　After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a traditional snack in Tonglu streets — the Hundred-Fruit Cake, which is also a customary dessert.

　　It is made from premium polished glutinous rice, which is washed, processed, and ground into glutinous rice flour. The cake is steamed with sugar, glutinous rice flour, and lard. Topped with green olives, yellow kumquat slices, brown walnut kernels, red candied fruits, as well as red and green threads, these decorations embellish the white cake, offering a colorful, sweet, oily, and glutinous taste.

　　Soft yet richly textured. One bite and you won’t want to stop — it’s on the market for over a month.
