1. Homemade pineapple cake can be stored in the refrigerator for about five days.
2. Ingredients required for homemade pineapple cake: 2 medium-sized pineapples, 200g low-gluten flour, 1 medium-sized egg, 100g high-gluten flour, 130g yellow rock sugar, 100g maltose, a little salt, white sugar 20g, 220g butter, 30g milk powder, 25g almond powder.
3. Step one: Make the stuffing.
Cut butter into small pieces and soften at room temperature. Peel and dice the pineapple. If you like it fibrous, keep the heart of the pineapple. If you want a delicate taste, you must remove the heart. If you like the grainy ones, you need to cut them into smaller pieces, wrap them in gauze, and squeeze out the water. It’s easier if you have a juicer at home and don’t pursue a grainy texture. Put the pulp and yellow rock sugar in the pot, turn on low heat and stir constantly until the rock sugar melts and the water is slightly dry.
Then add maltose and a little salt, continue to cook until it turns into caramel color and the water is almost dry, take it out and let it cool.
4. Step 2: Make dough.
First weigh the various ingredients for making dough and put them in bowls separately for later use. Add the butter to the sugar and beat with an electric mixer until it becomes white and puffy, then add the whole egg liquid in small amounts and continue to beat evenly. Sift the remaining flour into the butter, mix with a spatula to form a dough, put it into a plastic bag and let it rest for half an hour.
5. The third step: shaping and baking.
Knead the dough into 18g portions and make the filling into 15g balls. Wrap the filling into the dough using the method of wrapping glutinous rice balls. Next, the balls are pressed into the mold. Be careful not to use too much force during the pressing process, but use even force to ensure that the skin of the pineapple cake is thin and loose. At the same time, start preheating the oven, set the upper and lower tubes to 170 degrees, and put the pineapple cake mold into the middle shelf of the oven, bake for 10 minutes, turn over, and continue baking for 12 minutes. until both sides are colored. Take out of the oven, let cool and then unmold.
6. Freshly baked pineapples are crispy, soft, delicious and sweet in taste, but the internal temperature is extremely high, so don’t rush to eat them.
