Chung cake It's also called "square cake". Chung cake is one of traditional food in my country. In the past, Vietnamese only made Chung cake on Tet holiday ( Lunar new year), but nowadays, when people don't have to make ends meet, you can buy it anywhere and anytime you want. A Chung cake includes sticky rice, green bean, meat pork, onions, all of them are wrapped by 4 green bamboo leafs. It is boiled in 8 to 12 hours. After it cooked, they press it between 2 trays with a heavy thing above to make Chung cakes tight and be regular in shape. Square cake can keep 3-5 days without spoiling. It's so delicious. It's more delicious if you fry it and eat Chung cake with pork pie of boiled chicken.For me, Tet holiday will be ruined without Chung cake.

don't have to = you have a choice. 'make ends meet' = that you don't have enough money for things like food. So 'don't have to' + 'make ends meet' can't go together.

{with a heavy thing above} - You already said the trays are heavy and being pressed so you don't actually need to describe it more. Really, 'pressed' means to push down on something.

If you want to say more about how they are made... you can try something like this.

After cooking, the cake is pressed firmly{with great force} between two heavy trays to make it tight and regular in shape.

I don't want to seem so rude and mean. But....You cannot use the word cake for "bánh chưng". It is odd. The definition of cake is different. If you want, you can use the exact original word. "Bánh chưng" is a dish, not just food. You can look it up the difference between them. You grammar errors had been corrected perfectly by Kirsten. Therefore i don't need to fix it any more. Nice to meet you! i hope we can be friend. ^^
