As many as twenty-four layers are seen when it is carefully peeled£¬thus resulting in the name "The cooking-oil cake of multi-layers". As thin as a piece of paper, each layer of the cake is transparent. It tastes sweet, crisp and delicious with a pleasing aroma. Eating it can be coupled with tea and also other kinds of fairly watery food. This is a genuine delicacy with a local flavor in Nanjing.
