Basic Qi Feng Cake
The problem is that there are too many improved varieties nowadays, and there is nothing right or wrong. As long as they are delicious, they are satisfied with it. I often do it casually, and the results are reasonable, but it can only be said to be a more successful cake, not a "Qi Feng cake". The production of real Qifeng cake is completely different. It does not require butter. It is a relatively durable cake. It can be refrigerated in the refrigerator and will not change in quality for a few days. Cakes with butter will harden after refrigeration, which is the difference between them and Qi Feng.
