Changzhou sesame cake (Chinese: 常州大麻糕; pinyin: Chángzhōu Dàmágāo)[1] is a type of elliptical, baked cake that originated in Changzhou, Jiangsu supposedly over 150 years ago. Cakes are formed through several layers of yeast-fermented dough separated by lard that are flattened, stuffed, and baked with a coating of sesame seeds. Commonly eaten as a breakfast food with congee or as a street snack, they are now often bought prepackaged and given as gifts.
