Magnolia Cake
Created in 1850 by Sunji Pastry Shop in Wuxi, this cake gets its name from the season when magnolia flowers are in bloom. It is made by mixing glutinous rice flour with boiling water to form small pieces, which are then shaped into cake bases and filled with savory lard mix, red bean paste, minced pork, rose, sesame, and other fillings. The cakes are pan-fried until golden brown, featuring a crispy crust, soft and glutinous interior, and a deliciously balanced sweet and savory taste that is highly aromatic. (Wuxi)
