According to legend, pineapple cake originated in the Three Kingdoms period. Its pineapple Hokkien pronunciation is also called "Wang Lai", which symbolizes the meaning of "Wang Lai" for children and grandchildren. Pineapple is also a tribute commonly used by Taiwanese to worship. Therefore, it is also widely used in contemporary Taiwanese wedding customs and is deeply loved by the public. According to legend, in the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280 AD), Liu Bei married Sun Quan's sister with a wedding cake, and the engagement cake included a big cake made with pineapple filling. "

Tips:

1. The method of wrapping pineapple cake is the same as the method of wrapping moon cakes. It may not be very good. The first time you can put less filling, you can put more filling after a few times.

2. The winter melon should be squeezed out of the water to avoid the winter melon flavor in the finished filling.

3. The freshly made pineapple cake needs a period of time to taste better.
