Chestnut cake

Chestnut cake
Here, chestnut cake is also called 'Chongyang Cake', which is only sold a few days around the Double Ninth Festival during the year. Whatever you make, you can eat it whenever you want ~~

The biggest feature of making chestnut cakes is that they use chestnuts and smoked beans. Chestnuts may be found elsewhere, but smoked beans can be regarded as a specialty here. Use the soybeans of this season (they are very plump now), and put the green beans on the stove to smoke them. The old base is used. A small stove with a thin wire mesh frame of wood is placed on it. The green beans are placed on the head and slowly smoked until the skin is wrinkled, the beans are stripped of water, hard, and green and slightly yellow. It tastes particularly fragrant when chewing it ~~~

Sprinkle the osmanthus on the cake while it is hot. The aroma of chestnut, smoked beans, and osmanthus ~~~ This cake is fragrant
