I love moon cakes and these are the first ones that I made in celebration of the Mid Autumn Festival. I don’t love the salted egg yolk that is traditionally in the middle of each moon cake to represent the moon, so I didn’t include these. These are filled with homemade azuki bean paste which I make less sweet than commercially available azuki bean paste. I just ate the cut one and they are truly delicious, just enough sweetness and a bit of texture from the paste as I didn’t blend it down. The pastry is nice and short and crisp, yummy.
This is a surprisingly “healthy” cake as far as cakes go. There isn’t a lot of flour, there is no dairy fat, the only saturated fat is from the eggs. The carrot is blended with the olive oil and orange juice so it isn’t much like a traditional carrot cake. It is obviously very moist and won’t dry out quickly at all with the olive oil in it. It is actually really delicious and all gone now.
