Chrysanthemum cake is a specialty of Shajiang Town in Meixian, with the texture of the cake resembling chrysanthemums, soft and chewy, fragrant and sweet. Chrysanthemum cakes have been on the market for over a hundred years, and production has continued to thrive until today. It uses glutinous rice as its main ingredient, along with malt, white sugar, hazelnut sugar, and vegetable oil. These ingredients are kneaded into a dough, shaped, steamed until cooked, and then cooled to form the final product. The chrysanthemum cake not only boasts exquisite patterns but also tastes refreshingly sweet and fragrant, with an excellent mouthfeel. Additionally, it has the unique quality of maintaining its taste and texture even after being transported overseas, making it beloved by overseas Chinese compatriots.
