Jiaxian Date Cake
The date cake is made by soaking soft millet or soft broomcorn millet, grinding it into flour, then steaming it in a pot while sprinkling cooked red dates on top. After steaming, the mixture is kneaded into rolls, sliced, and served. It has a sweet flavor and a chewy texture. The date cake symbolizes “rising swiftly to success” during celebratory events, and is believed to guide the souls of the deceased westward during funeral rites.
