Legend has it that pineapple cake originated in the Three Kingdoms Period in China, and its pronunciation in Minnan dialect of pineapple is also called "Wanglai", which symbolizes the meaning of prosperous future generations. Pineapple is also a common tribute to worship in Taiwan Province, China, which means "prosperous" and "prosperous", so it is also widely used in contemporary Taiwan Province wedding customs and is deeply loved by the people.

Many people should know pineapple cake through packaged food, and I was also a big fan of "A Record" in those days. Most of the pineapple cake sold in the market are added with wax gourd paste, and the content of pineapple will be reduced. Adding wax gourd paste into pineapple stuffing can not only reduce the production cost, but also make the stuffing not too sour, which will make the audience in pineapple cake wider.

Our homemade pineapple cake will use pure pineapple stuffing.

Because the pure pineapple stuffing is rich in tropical fruit flavor and the production method is simpler. We call it "Native pineapple cake" or "Pure pineapple cake". Of course, this product is also available in the market, but the price is not cheap.

Pineapple cake's dough is a kind of pastry, which is also called cake pastry in Chinese style. Its main ingredients are flour, butter and egg liquid. Adding a certain proportion of almond powder can increase the crispness of the epidermis, while milk powder can make the crispy milk more fragrant. The proportion of butter is controlled at about 55% of the total flour, and the addition of 18% whole egg liquid can make the pastry soft, extensible and easy to fill. The amount of powdered sugar added to the pastry is less, because the stuffing also has a higher sweetness.
