When visiting Vinh Phuc, I tried to ask many elders there about the origin of this cake, however all of them did not any answer about it. They just said that there was only the rich people at their time can eat it. The poor people can eat it on the festival or Luna New Year. The cake is mostly made by molasses, so it has a hard sweet flavor that exist long time on tongue of eaters. Moreover, this cake is can eat after one week.
