This is a really nice snack for Chinese New Year. It's crispy and light, tastes really good with the seaweed and it's fragrant too. It's easy to make thus a very good gift for friends and family. Try it out and you will definitely love it!

Cake turns out very nice, I added extra cocoa and it turns out to be really nice with the rich chocolate taste and it's a lot less sweeter too. The texture of the cake is just nice, it is not too dry but hold wells and will not crumble easily.
