Taizhou magao

Taizhou has a long history of producing sesame cakes, especially the "peach-embedded sesame cake", which enjoys a high reputation. Two-color sesame cake was founded in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, which is sweet and salty, golden in color and crisp in texture. Raw material formula of peach-embedded sesame cake: fried glutinous rice flour 23 kg sesame powder 20 kg soft sugar 54 kg walnut kernel 5 kg. Technological process: batching → wet sugar mixing powder → embedding peach for stewing → slicing and baking → cooling and packaging. Method of making: 1. Wet sugar mixed with flour: Before making, wet sugar with water and mix thoroughly, and then mix wet sugar, sesame powder and glutinous rice flour thoroughly. Sieve all the cake powder with a sieve. 2. Embedding peach for stewing: First, put 1/2 of the cake powder into the cake mold, flatten the cake powder, arrange walnut kernels on the cake powder in four rows per mold, add the other half of the cake powder after the peach kernels are embedded, then re-compact and flatten the cake surface. Steam or steam the cake mold in a pot for about 7 minutes. When stewing, the steam quantity must be properly controlled. After stewing, refer to the method of snowflake cake for steam return. Cut the steamed cake into 4 pieces, put it in a wooden box, and slice it every other day. 3. Slice baking: cut rectangular cake strips into cake slices with a thickness of 1.5 mm, and each cake is cut into 100 pieces. The thickness of cake slices can be determined according to the specific weight, and the large ones are thick and the small ones are thin. After slicing, spread the cake slices neatly in a baking tray at the temperature of 130 ~ 140℃, and bake for 5 minutes before taking out. 4. Cooling packaging: The moisture content after baking is only about 2%, which is easy to absorb moisture. Therefore, after the cake is cooled, it should be packaged and sealed in time.
