How to Make MOONCAKES With a Traditional Wooden Mold -- Mid-Autumn Festival Recipe

In parts of Asia #mooncakes are eaten during the #MidAutumn #Festival, a holiday celebrating the harvest and family. I ate mooncakes on occasion as a child and today I'm going to attempt to make them from scratch using a traditional mold I found at the market. 🥮 Let's do this!
