And sweet-scented osmanthus cake has no additives, its aroma comes from sweet-scented osmanthus, and its pure natural aroma makes it very popular. Osmanthus cakes are now popular in many countries. It is not only delicious but also easy to make. This is the recipe I share. You can easily make it at home, and if you add packaging, you can give it to friends as a small gift and bring deliciousness to others.

Types of osmanthus cakes

The production method of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in China is very mature, and many people have made it with different flavors, and many types have appeared. Osmanthus cakes in Hubei are characterized by a high content of osmanthus, which is rich in osmanthus. When the sweet-scented osmanthus is in bloom, many people will make sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented cakes at home, and now the local sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented cakes have become a gourmet brand and are sold in many places.

In October, the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, and the whole city is full of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, and you can also eat a lot of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Nanjing sweet-scented osmanthus cake tastes softer and glutinous, and its styles are more diverse. There are many shops making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in Nanjing. Their sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are very beautiful after being packaged. Many people take it as a gift for friends.

The nutrition of sweet-scented osmanthus cake

Although there are many types of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, its core ingredients are sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice flour, sugar, etc. Although it is very delicious and sweet, its nutritional components are relatively simple. Glutinous rice flour contains more starch, and it tastes softer and sweeter. I added a small amount of brown sugar for decoration when making it, and brown sugar also provides more nutrition.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake contains more sweet-scented osmanthus, and the aromatic substances it releases have the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and it can promote blood circulation and intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial to the body’s detoxification, so its nutrition is still very rich. Moreover, sweet-scented osmanthus has the effect of removing bad breath and can kill bacteria in the mouth, which is very helpful for people with bad breath.

Can pregnant women eat osmanthus cake?

The main ingredients of sweet-scented osmanthus cake are sweet-scented osmanthus and glutinous rice flour. Pregnant women can eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but don’t eat too much. Because sweet-scented osmanthus cake is high in calories, but not high in protein, pregnant women need more nutrients, and it is better to eat more beef, milk, eggs and other foods. Both osmanthus cakes and osmanthus tea contain a lot of osmanthus. I don’t recommend pregnant women to eat a lot of osmanthus cakes. You can eat 1-2 osmanthus cakes a week, and don’t eat too much.
