Yuanming Steamed Egg Cake Introduction
Yuanming Steamed Cake, located next to Chenghuang Temple, is a 52-year-old family business that has been passed down to the third generation. It was originally opened on Wuchang Street and later moved to Zhongshan Road. As the name suggests, steamed cakes are made using steam, unlike the typical baked cakes found in the market, resulting in a delicate and soft texture. The taste is lighter and not greasy, carrying an old-fashioned flavor; additionally, the amount of sugar used is lower, making it a health-friendly food suitable for people of all ages. The original flavor of the steamed cake was "red bean," followed by the introduction of papaya, strawberry, taro, and stewed pork flavors. Yuanming Bakery's famous "steamed cake" is healthy, delicious, and traditional, satisfying countless discerning palates for over a generation. In contrast, Western-style cakes use large amounts of cream, chocolate, spices, and artificial additives, resulting in a rich texture and astonishing calories. Yuanming Bakery's steamed cake is made using traditional methods with only three ingredients: flour, eggs, and sugar, producing a fragrant and soft texture that is completely non-greasy.
