Old Beijing snack-cut cake

Overview

I have always liked the combination of red bean paste and glutinous rice. The red bean paste is sweet and delicate, and the glutinous rice is sticky and smooth. When you eat it in your mouth, it has a delicate texture, sweetness and smoothness. It is simply the most perfect combination. What I’m making today is red bean paste cake.
