Square Cake Pastry

Square Cake Pastry

　　Origin: Guiyang, Guizhou, China.

　　History: According to records, in the late Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, a man surnamed Lu in Guiyang was the first to create this delicacy, which became very popular at the time and was known as “Lu’s Cake Pastry.” After Lu passed away without any descendants to continue the craft, the production was interrupted for about 20 years. It wasn’t until 1926 that two brothers surnamed Li (Li Guangyao and Li Guangding) managed to replicate the recipe, and their business flourished. They renamed it “Li’s Cake Pastry.”

　　Features: Steamed from rice flour, it has a fragrant and sweet taste.
