Three-Cut Cake

Three-Cut Cake

　　Three-Cut Cake, also known as Oil Cloth Bag, has a golden color, a soft and sweet taste, and is one of the main foods during the Spring Festival for people in Mount Wutai. Every year as the New Year approaches, every household makes and steams this treat, passing down the tradition through generations. It has a history of over 300 years. During the long feudal society, the working people of Mount Wutai lived in poverty, with corn being their staple food all year round. In order to break the monotony of this bland diet, the people of Mount Wutai created a refined dish made from coarse grains.
