Wife cakes are a characteristic traditional specialty in Chaozhou, Guangdong. According to legend, during the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty continued to collect various wife cakes from the people. The people were severely oppressed and plundered, and there were endless uprisings across the country. Among them, the most representative team is the uprising army led by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang’s wife Ma is a very smart man. In the early days of the uprising, because there was a lot of war and food was often insufficient, the army had to run around to fight. In order to facilitate the sergeants to carry dry food, Ma’s came up with wheat, winter melon and other edible things together, ground them into flour, made cakes, and distributed them to the sergeants. Not only is it convenient to carry, but it can also be eaten anytime and anywhere. , Played a great help to the marching war. Because the pie made with such a mess of things together is more unpalatable, so smart people update the method on the basis of this kind of pie, and finally people find that they use sugar winter melon, wheat flour, cake powder, caramel, sesame and other raw materials to make fillings. The cake made is very delicious, sweet and delicious, this is the ancestor of the wife's cake.
