Shoutao New Year cake

Introduction:

"I remember when I was a child, my grandmother would make New Year cakes for us every new year. She said that eating New Year cakes means high every year, which means a good harvest. I still remember the taste! Especially the taste of Chinese New Year! Eating New Year cake is one of the Chinese customs, and it is one of the necessary festival foods for the Chinese New Year. New Year cake is homonymous with "Nian Gao", which means that the income, position or children are higher year by year. In the early days, New Year cake was used to sacrifice gods and ancestors, and then gradually became a kind of Spring Festival food. Eating New Year cake means congratulating the harvest of grain. Eating New Year cake also means longevity. The sweet and delicious new year cake has different tastes. I like to make it. Eating it is also a kind of fun and enjoyment. "
