pineapple cakes
Taiwanese bakery specialty
Pineapple cakes are small pastries filled with pineapple jam, most associated with Taiwan where they're a signature confection and popular gift.
The filling—sweet, tangy, and slightly fibrous—sits inside a buttery, crumbly shortbread shell.
They're sold individually wrapped in boxes: She brought back pineapple cakes from Taipei.
