			A '''pineapple cake''' is a type of pastry that is popular in [[Taiwan]] and other parts of [[East Asia]]. It is known for its sweet and tangy flavor, which comes from the use of [[pineapple]] as a primary ingredient. The cake is often given as a gift and is a symbol of good fortune.

	== ~~Preparation~~ ==		==History==
	~~To prepare~~ pineapple cake, the ~~pineapple is first peeled and cored~~. ~~It is then chopped into small pieces~~ and ~~cooked with sugar to create~~ a ~~sweet, tangy filling~~. The ~~dough for~~ the cake ~~is made by combining flour, sugar, and butter. The~~ pineapple ~~filling is spread over the dough, which is then baked until golden brown~~.		The origins of the pineapple cake can be traced back to the early 20th century in Taiwan. Pineapples were introduced to Taiwan during the [[Japanese rule]] and became a significant agricultural product. The development of the pineapple cake was a way to utilize the abundant pineapple harvests.

	== ~~Variations~~ ==		==Ingredients==
	~~There are many variations~~ of pineapple cake~~. In Taiwan, for example, the cake is often made with~~ [[~~winter melon~~]] ~~to balance the sweetness of the pineapple. In Hawaii, pineapple cake is typically served with a~~ [[~~coconut~~]] ~~glaze. Other variations include adding~~ [[~~rum~~]] or [[~~vanilla~~]] ~~to the pineapple filling.~~		The main ingredients of a pineapple cake include:
			* [[Pineapple]]
			* [[Flour]]
			* [[Butter]]
			* [[Sugar]]
			* [[Eggs]]

	~~== Cultural Significance ==~~		The filling is typically made from fresh or canned pineapple, which is cooked down to a jam-like consistency. The pastry is a shortbread-like dough that encases the filling.
	~~Pineapple cake holds significant cultural importance in several regions. In Taiwan~~, it is a ~~popular gift for [[Chinese New Year]] and other special occasions~~. ~~In Hawaii, pineapple cake~~ is ~~often served at [[luau]] parties~~.

	== ~~See Also~~ ==		==Preparation==
	* [[~~List~~ of pineapple ~~dishes]]~~		The preparation of pineapple cake involves making the pineapple filling first. The pineapple is chopped and cooked with sugar until it thickens. The pastry dough is prepared separately by mixing flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. The dough is then rolled out, cut into pieces, and filled with the pineapple mixture before being shaped into small cakes and baked.

			==Cultural significance==
			In Taiwanese culture, the pineapple cake is more than just a dessert. The word for pineapple in Taiwanese, "ong lai," sounds similar to a phrase meaning "prosperity comes." As a result, pineapple cakes are often associated with good luck and are commonly given as gifts during festivals and celebrations.

			==Variations==
			While the traditional pineapple cake is the most popular, there are several variations that include different fillings such as:
			* [[Mango]]
			* [[Strawberry]]
			* [[Red bean paste]]

			These variations cater to different tastes and preferences, expanding the appeal of the pineapple cake.
