Longhu Steamed Cake

Longhu Steamed Cake

　　Longhu Steamed Cake (also known as Book Cake) is one of the distinctive local snacks of Longhu, first created by Huangmeihe in Longhu, boasting a history of nearly a hundred years.

　　Longhu Steamed Cake is known for its snow-white color, soft texture, and sweet taste. Its main ingredients include cake flour (roasted glutinous rice flour), powdered sugar, cooked oil, and orange cake. During production, the cake flour is evenly mixed, rolled with a roller, pressed into molds, steamed and pan-fried for 20 minutes, then left to set before being sliced and packaged the next day.

　　With the improvement of people’s living standards and quality of life, the production of Longhu Steamed Cake has been somewhat affected, but during the annual Mid-Autumn Festival season, there are no fewer than 30 manufacturers and workshops producing the cake, with the product continuously distributed throughout Chaoshan and some cities within and outside the province.
