Bazhen cake is said to be a cake that the Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi liked. It turned out that this cake is composed of eight kinds of things. They are Codonopsis (or ginseng), Atractylodes, Poria, Barley, Lotus Seed Meat, Gorgon, Yam, and White. Lentils. Most of these things are products of the same kind of medicine and food, and when they are combined, they have magical powers.

Bazhen cake is a prescription for both yin and yang. It is very effective in regulating children’s weak spleen and stomach. You can make corresponding adjustments according to the situation of the family. I made this time as a flavored Bazhen cake, I removed the white lentils and used it. Fifty grams of almonds is used instead, because almonds have the effect of opening the lungs to ventilate the large intestine. At the same time, raw hawthorn and fried malt are added, which can help digestion and eliminate food accumulation. The resulting Bazhen Cake is full of almond flavor, with glutinous texture and firmness, chewy and full of almond flavor. "
