Chongyang cake (Chinese: 重陽糕; pinyin: Chóngyáng gāo) is a traditional cake eaten on the Chongyang Festival. A mixture mainly made up of rice flour and sugar is baked and steamed, then decorated with jujube, chestnuts and almonds. As the word for "cake" (糕) sounds like the one for "height" (高) in Chinese, people regard it as a lucky food.[1]
