Salt and pepper sesame cake is a major feature of the Sichuan and Chongqing Mid-Autumn Festival. As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, they can be seen everywhere. I used to buy some every year, but now, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, I can’t help but wonder: How are these things made? There is very little introduction to the making of sesame cakes. I tried one last year but it was unsatisfactory, so I will continue this year. The fillings are like ordinary mooncakes, which can have many variations. Salt and pepper is a classic and must-have. The most difficult thing to think about is the skin. What is the formula and how to make it? And the surface is extremely smooth, without any bulges. Who can let me visit the sesame cake factory? After pondering over and over again, I finally found the recipe for mooncake crust in an old book and followed my own ideas. Although the final appearance is also covered with sesame seeds, it is still a bit far from the real sesame cake.
