A moon cake that contains five different stuffings. Can it be called "five-stuffing moon cake"?

I don't think so.

According to the dictionary, stuffing is uncountable. It simply means flavored food which is placed inside a paste/pastry etc.

You might say five-kind-of-stuffing moon cake. But it is a bit clumsy. It is more common for people to say "a moon cake with 5 kinds of stuffing". It is just similar to "a roast beef with onions" in the menu.

Good. A bit clumsy won't destroy its approaching perfection.

I really have no idea what a moon cake is, but we fill pies and cakes. We stuff only meat or vegetables.

Say: It contains five different fillings.

Say: stuffed turkey and stuffed bell peppers


Saying that the recipe requires five ingredients doesn't convey the right idea.
Ingredients are sugar, eggs, flour, etc.

:wink:

What the sentence conveyed is different what I wanted to express. I said "five (different) filllings" that only referred to filling.

SS said " It contains five different fillings" . That is correct. How do you call the moon cake?

(Moon cake refers to a Chinese food)

If you insist on "filling", then can you tell us what the fillings are. Is it a layered cake? None of the moon
cakes I have made or know of have any fillings in them.
Just curious....

Such as a moon cake stuffed with 5 different nutlets, of course other ingredients included.
