Pineapple Cake

Pineapple Cake reigns as Taiwan's top souvenir, with over 30 million pieces sold annually. Each 45-gram pastry features a 60% pineapple filling made from local Taitung fruits, baked at 180°C for 15 minutes to create a golden, buttery crust. Its tangy-sweet profile is 40% less sugary than the average fruit jam cake, appealing to health-conscious travelers. Priced at $5 per box of 10, it's cheaper than the typical rival pastry, making it an accessible and iconic gift. This dessert's marriage of crumbly dough and concentrated fruit flavor outperforms Taro Ball Soup in portability and shelf stability.
