Do you dare to eat the leaf cake that has been frozen in the refrigerator for 40 days?

Leaf cake, also known as "leaf cake", is a traditional snack in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. This was originally a dish that every household would cook during the Spring Festival.

The crust of leaf cake is divided into glutinous rice flour and sweet potato flour, which are sweet and salty. The most common leaf cake fillings mostly contain shredded coconut and peanut paste. Authentic leaf cake should be made of new glutinous rice flour and sweet skin, with stuffing inside. Salty stuffing generally includes dried radish, plum beans, shrimp skin, diced meat, peanuts and so on. And the sweet fillings change more, peanuts, shredded coconut, sesame seeds, and even red beans, mung beans and winter melon candy can be added.

The jackfruit tree is considered to be a longevity tree in the local area, so the leaves have the meaning of symbolizing good luck. Celebrating the New Year in the local area is one of the essential rice cakes for every family. In addition, leaf cakes are also distributed as "gifts" for local weddings or other festive activities.
