All Natural Hot Mini Cakes

For more than a decade—a few days a week, regardless of forbidding weather—Shen Chao has served up delightfully sweet and spongy minicakes from his metal street cart. Cough up a single and receive a wax bag filled with 20 morsels—made from a batter of sugar, eggs and flour and cooked to order in an iron resembling a honeycomb-shaped ebelskiver pan.
