Guilin Sponge Cake - A Sweet and Soft Choice

Guilin sponge cake is an indispensable sweet taste in the lives of Guilin people. Its main raw material is high - quality glutinous rice flour. When making it, first mix the glutinous rice flour with an appropriate amount of white sugar and water, and stir well so that each grain of glutinous rice flour absorbs sugar and moisture. Then put the mixed flour into a special mold, gently compact it, and sprinkle some osmanthus or chopped red dates on it to add aroma and texture. Then put the mold into a steamer and steam it over high heat. The steamed sponge cake has a golden color, is fluffy and soft, and exudes a strong glutinous rice fragrance and a faint osmanthus fragrance. Break off a piece with your hand and put it in your mouth. The soft texture of the glutinous rice flour immediately spreads between your teeth. The sweetness of the white sugar is just right, sweet but not greasy. The embellishment of osmanthus or red dates adds a unique flavor, allowing you to feel the sweetness and softness of Guilin sponge cake with every bite, as if tasting the tenderness and sweetness of the city of Guilin.
