Chinese Hawthorn Cake

This homemade Chinese Hawthorn Cake is a delightful, tangy-sweet treat that’s both refreshing and easy to make! Fresh Chinese hawthorn is simmered until tender, blended into a smooth paste, and sweetened with rock sugar for the perfect balance of flavors. Agar acts as a natural thickener, giving the cake its signature jelly-like texture without any artificial additives. The simple yet vibrant ingredients create a naturally vibrant red dessert that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious. Enjoy this traditional delicacy chilled—its smooth, slightly tart taste makes it a perfect snack or light dessert. Whether you're craving something nostalgic or exploring Chinese cuisine, this hawthorn cake is a must-try for its pure, fruity goodness and melt-in-your-mouth texture!
