Wushan butter cake is a traditional famous spot in Hangzhou. It was golden in color, crispy in layers, round at the top and round on the bottom, like a golden hill, and there was a thin layer of cotton sugar on it, like snow. This cake is not only beautiful in appearance, but also crisp and not broken, sweet and fragrant but not greasy, suitable for all ages, and is famous at home and abroad. Wushan butter cake is also called "yiyi cake", and it is said that this name was given by the great poet Su Dongpo.
At that time, there was a husband and wife dim sum shop on the top of Wu Mountain, and the couple was honest, although the shop was small and the cost was small, but the oil cakes made were at all costs. The oil cakes they make are crisp and crisp, everyone loves to eat them, and the business is very prosperous.
One day, Su Dongpo was busy with official business, Andi was busy with official duties, so he put on a robe, put on shoes on his feet, walked on crutches, and took two retinues with him, braving the light rain to swim in Wushan. He walked to the mountain step by step, saw many people who were wandering the mountain eating oil cakes, couldn't help but feel hungry in his stomach, and also went to the store to buy a few. I borrowed a small bamboo chair from the shopkeeper, sat in front of the grass dotted with wildflowers, untied the wine gourd around my waist, took a sip of wine, took a bite of cake, overlooked the West Lake, and looked at the Qianjiang River while tasting it. This oil cake smells delicious, crunchy and crunchy, and is particularly delicious. Su Dongpo ate three in a row, and immediately chanted a poem: "There is nothing before wild drinking flowers, and only one gourd is tied around the waist." Has poured water wrong water, more looking for the store for the crisp? ”
Su Dongpo ate it, so he asked the shopkeeper: "What is the reputation of such a delicious butter cake?" The shopkeeper replied, "Yamano snacks, what a good name!" The guest officer thinks it is delicious, just eat more. Su Dongpo carefully looked at this oil cake, layer by layer, a silk, like the coat he was wearing, and then said casually: "A good mountain snack, if you don't want a name, just call it 'coat cake'!" The attendants on the side heard busy and said to the shopkeeper: "Congratulations, congratulations, Taishou named this cake 'Ziyi Cake'!" ”
When the couple listened, they knew that this person who ate the oil cake turned out to be the famous Hangzhou Taishou Su Dongpo, and he rushed over and thanked him: "Thank you Lord Su, name the mountain snack!" ”
Since then, Wushan's coat cake has become famous. Because the words "ghee cake" and "butter cake" are very similar to Hangzhou dialect, and the cake itself is oily and crispy, later everyone called this kind of cake "butter cake".
