Mung Bean Cake is a soft, delicate pastry made primarily from mung beans (green beans with the skins removed). The beans are cooked, mashed into a smooth paste, mixed with sugar and oil, then pressed into decorative molds.

What does it taste like?

• 🌱 Mild, naturally nutty mung bean flavor
• 🍬 Lightly sweet (not overly sugary)
• 🧈 Smooth, soft, and crumbly texture that melts in your mouth
• 😋 Rich but delicate

Unlike sponge cake, it's more like a dense, melt-in-your-mouth confection.
