These fortune cakes, also referred to as “prosperity cakes” or “lucky cakes,” are extremely popular during Lunar New Year. The name “fa gao” sounds like “wealth,” thus symbolizing good fortune for the new year. They have a light brown sugar flavor and an addictively fluffy, yet chewy, texture. It’s hard to eat just one!
