Yuanming Steamed Egg Cake Introduction
Yuanming Steamed Cake, located next to Chenghuang Temple, is a family business that has been around for 52 years and is now in its third generation. It originally started on Wuchang Street before moving to Zhongshan Road. Steamed cake, as the name suggests, is a cake made with steam, which differentiates it from the baked cakes commonly found in the market. This method retains a delicate, soft texture; the flavor is lighter and not greasy, reminiscent of traditional tastes. Additionally, it uses less sugar, making it a healthful treat suitable for all ages. The initial flavor was "red bean," followed by the introduction of papaya, strawberry, taro, and braised pork flavors. Yuanming Bakery's famous steamed cake is healthy, delicious, and traditional, having satisfied countless discerning palates for sixty years. In contrast, Western-style cakes use large amounts of butter, chocolate, spices, and artificial additives, resulting in rich flavors and high calories. Yuanming Bakery's steamed cake is made using traditional methods with only three ingredients: flour, eggs, and sugar. Its fragrant, soft, and fluffy texture is completely non-greasy.
