The Nine-Nine Double Ninth Festival is a traditional festival in our country, and it is also known as the "Old People's Day". Every year on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, people will make some cakes to celebrate to add to the festive atmosphere.
Double Ninth Festival, also called Flower Cake or Chongyang Flower Cake, is a traditional holiday cake in my country; as the name suggests, it is a festival of the Chongyang Festival on the ninth day of the ninth month of the summer calendar.
Seeing that the Double Ninth Festival is approaching, I specially made this sweet and glutinous Double Ninth Cake for my parents, wishing them health and longevity! happiness!

Tips:
1. Glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour are available in supermarkets and online
2. It is best to wash dried cranberries and raisins with water beforehand, and then use a dry cloth or kitchen paper to absorb the moisture.
3. If you find it troublesome, you can only do one layer.
4. It is also possible to brush oil or pad gauze in advance in the mold, so that it can be easily demolded
