Wushan butter cake
Wushan butter cake has a long history, evolved from the chestnut flour butter cake in Anhui, and began to rise in the Wushan area in the old days. Because the body of the cake is covered like a cloth, the folk legend Su Dongpo gave it the nickname "Cloth", so the people of Hangzhou have a different kind of feelings for it.
The butter cake is made of oil flour and crispy, the color is golden, layered, the top is pointed and the bottom is round, the shape is like a small gold mountain, the top is sprinkled with fine white sugar powder, the entrance is crispy and sweet. Wushan butter cakes are mostly sold in the stalls in the alleys, which are relatively rough and average.
There is another kind of fried dough cake in Hangzhou called "sole cake", some shops are fried into sesame sugar crispy cakes, and some shops make scallion oil sandwich cakes, but it is shaped like a sole, and the stalls in the scenic spot will mark it as "Jigong's sole cake" to attract attention. In fact, compared to the fried dough cake in various places, its taste is not outstanding.
