Tutuo hemp cake

Tutuo sesame cake, also known as puff pastry sesame cake, is a classic snack that originated in Yubei District in the 20s of the last century. After the third-generation inheritor Li Cheng inherited the production technology, large-scale production was introduced, which opened up the domestic market of Tutuo hemp cakes. In 2018, Tutuo hemp cake was included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of Chongqing.

Tutuo hemp cake can be compared with baked cake, both of which are stuffed foods with flour as the main ingredient. It's just that the crust of the sesame cake is kneaded with sesame oil, and the surface is covered with full sesame seeds, which makes the taste crispy and tough, and the taste is more fragrant. The production of hemp cake is relatively complex, and it needs to go through more than ten processes before and after, such as making fire, making materials, wrapping filling, rolling cake, sieving hemp, baking, etc. Most of the fillings are walnut kernels, peanut kernels, roses, osmanthus and other fragrant and fragrant ingredients, and the taste has its own advantages.

Nowadays, there are very few fresh sesame cakes made on the spot. Most of the hemp cakes have been packaged in gift boxes and sold in major Chongqing native supermarkets. When purchasing, look for the words "Chongqing Intangible Cultural Heritage".
