(732710 views)
Taro cake is a common snack in Guangdong. It can be eaten in many snack shops and teahouses. Cantonese people will also steam all kinds of cakes for the new year, such as New Year cakes, muffins, cakes, radish cakes, taro cakes, etc. Recently, I opened a Book of Chinese snacks published in 1985 in my family's collection (this book is several months older than me...) There are many Guangdong snacks recorded in it. It is found that the production method of taro cake is different from what we have now. Try to make it. It has different flavors. Fortunately, the family who saw this recipe quickly collected it, because we can't find it outside.
