Yuanming Steamed Egg Cake Introduction
Yuanming Steamed Cake, located next to Chenghuang Temple, is a family business that has been operating for 52 years and is now in its third generation. It originally opened on Wuchang Street before moving to Zhongshan Road. Steamed cake, as the name suggests, is made by steaming, rather than baking, which helps retain its fine, soft, and fluffy texture. The flavor is lighter and less greasy, reminiscent of traditional tastes; it also uses less sugar, making it not overly sweet and a healthy option for all ages. The first flavor introduced was "red bean," followed by papaya, strawberry, taro, and braised pork flavors. Yuanming Bakery is well-known for its "Steamed Cake," which is healthy, delicious, and traditional, satisfying countless discerning taste buds for over half a century. In contrast, Western cakes often use large amounts of butter, chocolate, spices, and artificial additives, leading to rich flavors and high calories. Yuanming Bakery's steamed cake is made using traditional methods, with only three ingredients: flour, eggs, and sugar, resulting in a fragrant, soft, and fluffy cake that is free from greasiness.
