Retort cake

There is a famous shop called Southeast Asian Cake in Muslim Street, but there is a long queue of tourists and local customers from afar, and the sweet aroma of the cake fills the area. This snack is mainly steamed from glutinous rice, red dates, and cloud beans, with dark red jujube paste on the surface, dark brown cloud beans below, and glutinous rice infiltrated into the jujube paste at the bottom. It tastes very soft and glutinous, with sticky rice mixed with rich jujube paste, and the fragrance and sweetness are rich. Xi'an people will not only regard it as a satisfying snack, but also one of the breakfast options.

The history of retort cake has a long history, and "retort" is an ancient steaming cookware, which is also the origin of the name of retort cake. Today's retorts are made of both iron and pottery, and steamed cakes with pottery retorts have the best taste.
