Most egg-shaped sponge cakes are filled with your classics like red bean, taro, or custard. But in Taoyuan’s Daxi District, one vendor decided to fill theirs with the local speciality: braised tofu. Even the outside looks like the savory snack. The owner said he loves traditional egg cakes, and figured he could combine it with Daxi’s speciality to make a name for himself.

The first bite of this tofu-shaped sponge cake is as crispy and soft as you could want. But upon closer look, it isn’t filled with your typical red bean or taro. Rather, this one has pieces of braised tofu inside.

It’s better than most egg cakes. The inside is chewy.

There are thin pieces of braised tofu inside. If you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t tell. He’s really creative. I give it 10/10. The taste isn’t for everyone, though.

Since this unique cake stand is in Taoyuan’s Daxi, the owner chose to use the district’s famous braised tofu for the filling. He said he thought to combine the two since he loves egg cakes and tofu is a Daxi staple. He didn’t expect it to become such a hit.

Owner
We braise the tofu ourselves, so it’ll have a slightly salty taste. The batter is a little sweet, so the flavor is both sweet and salty. Everyone is wary at first, but they like it after trying it. It’s one of our top sellers. It ranks in the top three.

A sweet cake with a bit of salty filling gives this snack an unexpected spark, as well as an entirely new spin on a classic Taiwanese treat.
