The yellow gardenia flower cake is a sweet treat from Fuding, southeast China's Fujian Province. This local delicacy originates from the ripening of gardenia flowers into yellow fruit. The extracted golden liquid is then combined with local glutinous rice to craft these unique rice cakes. With a beautifully chewy texture, slightly reminiscent of pineapple, the cake offers a sweet taste that reflects the natural evolution of the gardenia flower into fruit.
