Imperial Cake
Imperial Cake, also known as Poria Cocos Sandwich Cake. Legend has it that on the day Zhao Kuangyin ascended to the throne and became emperor, he gave this dessert to his civil and military officials as a reward, hence the name. The outer layer of the cake resembles the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Cloud Poria Cocos, which led to its common name among the people—Poria Cocos Sandwich Cake. It is characterized by its sweet, soft texture and rich aroma.
