Chinese New Year food -- jujube cake

Introduction:

"In our hometown, there is a kind of New Year cake called" Huagao ", or" zaohuagao ", which is called" zaohuagao "because it is shaped like a flower, and it is also made from a big, fleshy red jujube in my hometown, so it is called" zaohuagao ". This kind of jujube cake also has a custom in my hometown. During the Spring Festival, it is a kind of food specially made by the mother for the girl, that is, a gift for the daughter when she returns to her mother's home on the second day of junior high school. The implication of jujube cake is very simple, when the mother is to hope that her daughter in the new year grow like flowers, more and more young and more beautiful, work and life is booming, happy year by year higher. Jujube cake has many shapes. It has a round base made of flour, a pattern on the edge of the roll, a layer of red jujube, and a plate with lace which is slightly smaller than the first layer. It can be used as a variety of auspicious ornaments with different meanings, so as to find their own good wishes and spiritual sustenance in life. Nowadays, the taste of new year is getting lighter and lighter.
