8.Pinapple Cake

Pineapple cake is a traditional Taiwanese dessert and one of the most popular souvenirs in Taiwan. It has a square or round shape with a crispy outer layer and a sweet and delicious pineapple filling inside.

The making process of pineapple cake involves using fresh pineapples. First, the pineapple is cut into small pieces and cooked until it becomes a paste. Then, it is mixed with syrup, flour, butter, and other ingredients. The dough is then wrapped around the filling and either baked or deep-fried until the outer layer turns golden and crispy.

The crispy outer layer and juicy, sweet pineapple filling complement each other perfectly, making the cake irresistible. In addition to the traditional flavor, there are now many variations of pineapple cake available, with added ingredients like sesame or chocolate, which offer more diverse flavors.

Pineapple cake is not only a delicious dessert, but also a representative of Taiwanese culture. It has become a popular souvenir for many tourists visiting Taiwan. Whether as a gift or for personal enjoyment, pineapple cake is a must-try Taiwanese specialty.
