Chongyang cake, also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake, can be made at will, including coarse flower cake, fine flower cake and money flower cake.
Five-color Caiqi Yang is inserted in the cake, and the double sheep is printed with stuffing, which means the Double Ninth Festival. The method of steaming Chongyang cake is the same as that of steaming rice cake, but the steamed cake is smaller and thinner.
