　　Longtou White Cake

　　White cake is one of the specialty snacks in the Longtou community. Many local farmers love to steam white cakes during festivals and holidays. The making of white cake began in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of over a hundred years. High-quality rice is ground into rice slurry, which is then steamed layer by layer in bamboo steamers — usually five to six layers per steamer. After steaming, toppings such as chopped scallions and peanuts are spread on top, then the cake is cut into squares and mixed with ingredients like oil, salt, and chili. It boasts a fragrant aroma, soft yet chewy texture, delicate mouthfeel, and delicious flavor, making it an excellent treat for entertaining family and friends near and far.
