Growing up, we used to get these yellow flower shaped cakes back home. I loved the taste and the aroma of those. They still make something that looks like those cakes, but sadly, not at all the same taste or texture. I couldn't find a recipe online either! I tried to recreate that and came up with this. This is delicious, but not that old cake. Wonder what flavoring or essence they used back then. Same with the plum cake that we used to get back then. Today's plum cake is not at all like the old ones.
