Baked cakes are in Henan, which has "multiple identities". When you arrive in Xinxiang, it is a crispy and oily shortbread; When you go to Kaifeng, you have to go to the hanging furnace to become a blast furnace baked cake; So much so that on the streets of Zhengzhou, you can always see all kinds of baked cake shops with different "city names" as prefixes to represent their local characteristics. And the place we went to today is simply deep into the "baked cake nest". Walking through the streets of this city, two steps and a small stall, three steps and a large gate, all of them are selling baked cakes, that is Dengfeng!

Dengfeng's baked cake is known for its thickness and sesame seeds, so it also has a resounding title of "sesame burnt cover baked cake".

Sesame charred lid baked cake Sesame charred lid baked cake, worthy of the name. It is heavy in the hand, full of sesame seeds, and after being grilled, it exudes a charming aroma. If you want to judge whether this sesame burnt cake is authentic enough, there is also a local method in the local area. The boss said as he picked up the pancakes. Place it flat on your left hand and tap your right hand lightly on the middle of the pancake. With a click, the cake parted in half.

After breaking it, I saw the soft core inside, and when I bit into it, it was full of wheat flavor. The crust is crispy, and the more you chew it, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes, and some foodies say that they have eaten the taste of childhood.

Locally told us that this sesame charred lid cake is delicious when eaten hot, but they prefer to sandwich the marinated bean skin and the spoonful of chili oil. Don't look at the red and bright color of chili oil, in fact, the spicinessness is not high, and it belongs to the spicy type. The bean skin is soft and fragrant, and the cracks are full of marinade, which forms a stark contrast with the crispy outer layer of the baked cake, and the more you eat it, the more you eat it.

He said that if you want the baked cake to taste rich in wheat flavor, you have to use itTraditional old leavenDough. Compared with baking powder, old yeast can fully stimulate the aroma of wheat flour. Baked cakes are 2 yuan each, but the locals come every time they come to buy it. Some diners from other places also come here and buy a few big bags to take home for relatives and friends to try. When is it time to go to Dengfeng, remember to arrange this bite!
