Template:Short description Template:Infobox prepared food Template:Chinese
Paper wrapped cake (Template:Zh) is a type of Chinese cake. It is one of the most common pastries served in Hong Kong. It can also be found in most Chinatown bakery shops. In essence, it is a chiffon cake baked in a paper cup.[1]
In the bakeries of Chinatown, San Francisco, it is commonly referred to as "sponge cake."
Preparation
Traditionally prepared wrapped cakes are usually steamed in a wok pan, however, Chinese-American sponge cakes are usually baked in an oven. The cakes are typically prepared by separating the egg yolks and whites, and whisking them separately as well.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Texture
Typically prepared and served wrapped in parchment paper squares, Chinese paper wrapped cakes have a deep, golden brown exterior, and a light, fluffy inside. The subtle texture is complemented by a subtle sweetness, which allows them to be served as-is.[2]
Serving
The cakes are typically served in the paper they were baked in. Found in bakeries, the cakes are typically eaten during breakfast, or teatime.[3]
