pineapple cake
Fruity Taiwanese treat
Pineapple cake is a pastry featuring pineapple as its primary flavoring.
In Western baking, this typically means a butter cake with pineapple pieces or filling.
The Taiwanese version (鳳梨酥) is a small, crumbly shortbread pastry with sweet pineapple jam at its center—a popular gift and souvenir.
She brought back boxes of pineapple cakes from Taipei.
