This traditional Chinese egg cake has a dense crumb and a comforting flavor that brings back fond memories for many people, including me. They're little cakes—bake the entire recipe in a normal 12-cup muffin tray!
I enjoy eating these cakes on their own with a second cup of coffee or herbal tea. Kaitlin also suggested serving them with sliced peaches or berries and whipped cream.
This Chinese Old Fashioned Cake has a long history, dating back to the Qing Dynasty.
It was one of the first cakes in China to be prepared in a mold, influenced by Western baking techniques.
Chinese northerners refer to it as 槽子糕 (cáo zi gāo). Cáo zi translates to "mold." Southerners refer to it as plain egg cake (蛋糕) or honey cake (蜂蜜蛋糕).

I've always been an old-fashioned gal. I prefer traditional donuts with no additional toppings or fillings. And this Chinese Old Fashioned Cake with its original flavor remains my favorite.
I just love the texture. It has the hard consistency of pound cake, but with no butter and only five ingredients, it's a little more eggy and less dense.
