White sugar cake at the school gate

Overview

There is a kind of nostalgia called the white sugar cake at the school gate. Unfortunately, I felt unwell today and failed to make it. To be more precise, the appearance is bad, but the taste is the same as in memory. When I was a child, I remembered that the white sugar cakes were as white as snow. When I went to school in the morning, there were always one or two breakfast stalls selling white sugar cakes on the long street in front of the school. This kind of sacrifice used to worship gods in southern Fujian spread to Hunan and became a staple food in the morning that is sweet and slightly fermented. The stall owner selling white sugar cakes had finished his business at the school gate in the morning. He would still carry a load in the morning and continue to sell in the streets. He used a pole to carry two hot pots that had just been removed from the coal stove. The white sugar cakes in the pots were covered with a layer of gauze to keep them warm for a long time. On weekends, I would hear the cries of white sugar cakes being sold at home. I would always run downstairs excitedly, grind out 20 cents from my grandfather for the hot white sugar cakes, bite them in my mouth, and feel the soft and sweet rice aroma. I accidentally saw the white sugar cake dish a few days ago, and I happily saved it. After several rounds of tossing it from last night to this morning, it seems to have restored the taste of my childhood memory, but it did not make it the way I remembered it. It’s also delicious. Let’s post the recipe first and then slowly explore and improve it later. ^_^
