Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of the Marry girl cake are glutinous rice, red bean paste, and lard. The glutinous rice is soaked overnight and then ground into a paste. The red bean paste is made by boiling red beans until soft and then mashing them into a paste. The lard is used to add flavor and moisture to the cake.
The preparation of the Marry girl cake involves several steps. First, the glutinous rice paste is spread on a flat surface and the red bean paste is spread on top. The two layers are then rolled together to form a log. The log is cut into slices and each slice is fried in lard until golden brown.
