According to legend, pineapple cake originated in the Three Kingdoms period, and the pronunciation of pineapple in Minnan dialect is also called "Wanglai", which symbolizes the meaning of future generations. Pineapple is also a common sacrifice of Taiwan Province people, which means "Wanglai" and "Wanglai". Therefore, it is widely used in the wedding customs in contemporary Taiwan Province Province and is deeply loved by people.

In the wedding custom of Taiwan Province Province, the six flavors of ordering wedding cakes represent six kinds of gifts. One kind of pineapple, pronounced in Minnan dialect, is also called "Wanglai", which symbolizes the wish of future generations. Pineapple is also a common sacrifice of Taiwan Province people, which means "prosperous" and "prosperous" and is deeply loved by the people. Early pineapple cake was too big for ordinary people to spend. Nearly a hundred years ago, Fu Yanping, a pastry chef in Taichung County, often took the burden and brought his own "dragon and phoenix cakes" to Taichung to sell.

The original "dragon cake" is a big round cake with meat stuffing, while the "phoenix cake" of the same size is filled with pineapple stuffing. "Dragon and phoenix cake" is regarded as an essential wedding cake for engagement and marriage because of its auspicious meaning. Later, after the improvement of Yan vase, the egg cake was reduced to about 25 to100g each, and pineapple cake was born.

Pineapple cake stuffing is not just pineapple. Wax gourd is usually added for taste, which is the habit of most people. Whole grains, pine nuts, egg yolks, chestnuts and other different flavors of pineapple cake can be bought in the Taipei market. Ingredients such as oats are also added to the crust, which makes the taste more diverse. Some people used other fruits as fillings and invented things such as melon crisp, plum crisp and sour plum crisp.

Later, it evolved into a modern "pineapple cake", made of western-style pie crust and Chinese pineapple stuffing. Because the skin is crisp and the meat is soft, the pineapple stuffing is sweet but not greasy. This "Chinese-Western" pineapple cake is highly respected in western Renye Fang, so it has gradually become one of the favorite gifts of foreign tourists in Taiwan Province Province. There are some differences between pineapple cake and Phoenix Crisp. Pineapple cake is sweet, and Phoenix Crisp is salty and sweet. Among them, it is better to add some salted egg yolk on the basis of pineapple and wax gourd stuffing.
