I Made Buttery Pineapple Cakes From Scratch

- These are seriously some of the best, melt-in-your-mouth pastries I’ve ever had, I love, love, love pineapple cakes so much! A flaky, buttery shortbread crust paired with a sweet, chewy pineapple filling? Perfection.
Here’s how to make my favorite pineapple cakes from scratch! I would say this one’s a little more on the difficult side but it’s definitely worth a try.
You can find the recipe for these right here:
www.ingatylam.com/buttery-pin...
Ingredients:
PINEAPPLE FILLING
1 whole pineapple (around 1kg)
3 tbsp corn syrup
4 tbsp brown sugar/dark muscovado sugar
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
BUTTERY PASTRY
1 1/2 sticks of butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 tbsp milk powder
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp condensed milk
2 cups cake flour
1 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
Note: Measurement for corn syrup and sugar depends on how sweet you like your filling to be. If you’ve struck gold and found yourself a super sweet pineapple, use less sugar!
Steps:
Making the filling -
Chop pineapple roughly into smaller chunks and further chop into smaller pieces using a food processor.
Strain the juice out using a cheesecloth or strainer.
Place pineapple into a shallow pan, and cook over low heat, stirring every once in a while. Once almost dry, add brown sugar, corn syrup and lemon juice. Keep stirring to prevent mixture from sticking.
When mixture looks thick and caramelized, add butter and stir into the pineapple. Once combined, adjust flavor to your preference and remove from heat. Transfer to a separate bowl and let cool completely. Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add in hot water slowly while stirring, then mix in room temperature water while continuing to stir.
Making the crust -
Cream butter until light and fluffy. Sift in powdered sugar and mix into the butter, scraping down sides occasionally with a spatula.
Mix in egg yolks one at a time.
Sift in milk powder, parmesan cheese and condensed milk. Fold into the mixture using a spatula.
Sift in cake flour and salt, and fold into the mixture again. Be careful not to over mix or the texture won’t be as flaky!
Gently form into a dough and wrap with cling film. Rest on the kitchen counter for 30 min.
Measure out the pineapple filling and dough, keeping a 3:4 ratio (e.g. I used 21g : 28g for the pineapple mold, and 18g : 24g for the square mold), and roll into small balls. Flatten the dough and place filling inside, folding the edges carefully to seal it in. Roll again to get rid of any cracks.
Press the dough into each mold lightly until the mold is completely filled, and place the molded pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven at 170C°C /340°F for 10 - 15 minutes, and flip each cake over carefully with a pari of tongs. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes.
Remove pineapple cakes from oven and let cool before removing from molds. These are best enjoyed 1 - 2 days later, so store them in an airtight container. At room temperature, they’ll stay fresh for 3 - 5 days, and in the fridge, up to 7 days!

I don't know you're ever gonna read this but. Here's a little tip. Don't strain the pineapple juice. It'll taste so much better. Yes it will take a longer time to reduce but you can really taste the pineapple more so if you're using only the pulp. So what you'll do is just to heat the pineapple puree while stirring once in a while till it reduces by quite a lot and then ADD THE SUGAR AT THE VERY END (AND KEEP STIRRING TO AVOID BURNING SUGAR).
Makes sense
Org mana kak 😆 haii
@@TheHarmonice bkn org kita ni. Mcm org seberang je
YOU ARE A LIAR
Yes correct
I made this dish a few times since quarantine, and here are some uses for the leftover pineapple filling.
- At the end of the reducing, if there's pineapple still stuck onto the pan, add some water, bring to boil, and add in black tea bags. The pineapple and black tea work really well with each other. For sweetness, add honey, and it's such a refreshing tea. I even made a batch just for tea.
- Definitely chill both the filling to make it easier to work with ( for the recipe i used)
Jolly Zhao thanks 😊
That sounds really nice! Thank you
Omg that’s so useful 😍
Yum!! I love the black tea idea :)
Pineapple tea sounds nice. 😊
These look extremely tasty and the pineapple shape makes them even better
Ikr? It's so cute!!
When you're nervous bout your new job and you're waiting outside then get a notification from Inga..... The best way to calm down and start the day right...
Will be trying this as soon as i can 😊
I believe in you! 💕It's going to be a great day!!
Good luck!
@@IngaLam TBH i took a screenshot of this and whenever things weren't going well, i'd sneak a peak and read your comment again and again then continue with my day hehehe 😊
Thank you for making my day ☺️☺️
@@celadonx5829 thank you 😊
Good luck ! I hope you succeed!!
I’m a little flattered that Inga thinks I can wait several days before eating these
😂😂
I'm so early! My mom brought home a few boxes of these after her trip to Taiwan. THESE ARE BOMB!!! 🍍
your mom knows what's up! 🙌
Same rad
Inga Lam this looks like how to pros make it! I’m gonna try this recipe sometime soon
👌😋
Rad Garcia omg really want to try them? Are they as good
3:40 The way she said "Oh, it smells so good" was soooo cute! Really want her to voice a Disney character
I had an incredibly kind co-worker who brought me a box of pineapple cakes after she would visit home. I described the flavor as sunshine wrapped in happiness. Thank you for your video.
So aesthetically pleasing!
She sounds like a voice actor. I keep picturing her as a cute, feisty cartoon character.
Also, TOTALLY trying this recipe before the summer is over!
The description box is such a help, if you just want the recipe you can go there and you have the recipe and the step by step instructions. So helpful.
This is one of my favourite treats. A couple of tips, my grandma always taught me not to actually squeeze the water out and reduce it way longer. By using the water, it gives it more flavour and it taste more carmelized and rich.
My grandma used to get these for me and my brother all the time when we were kids. She just passed a year ago and I’m so excited to try this and surprise my mom and my brother!
This recipe is absolutely delicious! Some notes for anyone trying it too:
- Canned crushed pineapple (with syrup) works well if you can't get fresh; but cook the fruit with the syrup in the pan. That uses the syrup, the pineapple juice, and gives it a much nicer pineapple flavor. The canned flavor goes away with cooking it. You don't have to add any extra sugar.
- You don't need to bake them inside the mold. I used a moon cake mold (heavily floured) and refrigerating the dough before wrapping and pressing did help the process.
- Freezing the molded pineapple cakes before putting them in the oven seemed to help thwm keep their shape. There was very little cracking or spreading. I ended up giving them 25 minutes with no flipping, and they turned out amazing.
"because I figured that's an ingredient thats not as easy for most of us to find"
*Cheese powder*
I don't think she's using actual powdered cheese. It looks like she's using the granulated parmesan that comes in little packets with pizza, or in the plastic shaker bottle with the green lid.
@@bsidethebox That stuff looks the same as powdered cheese, depending on the type of cheese.
But I bet some nutritional yeast would do a similar thing. It's all about the unami (glutamates).
You can use regular parmesan cheese ! My grandma always uses regular parmesan cheese in these treats.
My parents have been sending me care packages from Taiwan every couple of months during quarantine and every time, I ask them for pineapple cakes (and sun cakes and milk cakes) from Chia Te bakery, my absolute favorite pineapple cakes!!! I still have a bunch in my pantry, I'm savoring them 😭
Can't beat Chia Te's pineapple cakes. Worth the crazy lines (and prices)!
I was skeptical about the hype around Chia Te’s pineapple cherry cakes...but after my aunt stood in line and sent me two boxes....I’ve been converted!! Another tasty trip to Taiwan, please! They’re one of a few countries where life is pretty much back to normal while other places continue to struggle with covid
Wow!! So creative!! The pineapple shape is super cute - and looks so delicious in that form 😊
Hi Inga! Indonesia have a very similar to those cake! (or maybe it is THAT cake. lol). we called as "Nastar", basically just a round pineapple cake but we brush them with egg yolk before baking it. it's a famous snack especially during festive occasions; CNY/Christmas/Eid al-Fitr. love your vids btw! :3
But you still need to taste the taiwanese version imo. I’m Indonesian but I’ve been craving for this in a looong time.
I’m not a fan of nastar but I really like this version.
@@rambutketiak ahh i see. true tho it makes me want to try the taiwanese version 'cause surely has their own flavor! thanks to you :D
The Nastar and Indomie fanbase is the same amount in each (sory for my terrible English, i have gotten used to texting in Indonesian)
Pineapple cake is an dutch cookies since collonial era. The cookies arrived in taiwan because dutch also have a collony in taiwan.
Wow! I'm a huge fan!!!! Keep up the great work Inga!!!! :)
Congrats on 100k!! I love your videos! Keep doing a great job!! 💜💜💜
Inga has the CUTEST personality out of all of UA-cam 🐰🤍
I love this! Each year when I go to Taiwan to visit relatives, I always bring a ton of the Chiate pineapple pastries back to the US for people and also for myself! It’s just this year I’m not able to fly back due to COVID-19... :( ;-;
Love this Inga. Your videos are so calming haha
I love these so much!! I always bring some back to my home from Taiwan when I occasionally visit :) thanks for another video ❤️
This is called “nastar” in Indonesia, which is adapted from Dutch phrase of “ananas taart”
I don't think this is nastar. cuz
nastar crumbles very very veryy easily
Kevin Eduard Matindas I have many Indonesian friends and I love when they bring them back for me! Unfortunately, I haven’t had one in over a year. Obsessed with this cookie. I’m definitely making these!
@@MsLocaFlea I think they're quite easy to make, most homes even have their own version of it. Just search up some basic nastar recipe
@@arsennahasibuan6 I think thats just because the Nastar you have lacks butter on the dough
Taiwan and Hong Kong pineapple cake are a bit different from nastar. The dough are a bit chewy but firm after baked. While nastar should crumble and melt in your mouth.
You make it look doable, my friend from taiwan had me try these and i can recall the taste of the buttery crumble crust and jammy pineapple just by looking at your video. Yummm.
these are nice inga 💕 you really inspire me to try baking pastries. love watching your videos!
OH MY GOD MY CO-WORKER GAVE ME THESE, SHE SAID ITS HER CHILDHOOD SNACK IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ITS SO GOOD
One of my favorite desserts of all time!! I never knew how they were made so I'm glad to see the process. I didn't think they would bake within the cutters, but it makes sense considering how precise the shapes are
Awesome recipe Inga. And your voice is so calming and sweet. Love the way you go through the recipes. Godspeed!
this video is so calming 🌞
Love you so much Inga!🥰
I am definitely making these!❤️
I am making it from your recipe cause you made it easier for everyone to try it at home!💖Ty!!🙏😍🤩
In Indonesia, is similar to "nastar"
But the shape is round, and so tasty🥰🥰
Yeah more inga!!!! Love watching your videos you're literally a real life Disney princess 💖
Love these! What an awesome surprise Inga! These are the best when warmed up with a side of tea.
Omg I needed this recipe! I was really craving it recently and these look so good! 🤤🤤🤤When I was younger, I didn’t like it but it definitely grew on me over time. 😍😍😍
it really does grow on you 😭and now i can't stop
To be honest, I love when you film like this compare to just a voice over. The video is more lively!
OMG
INGA u uploaded
2day im gonna try these
Lots of love❤
Your baking vids are so enjoyable to watch Inga!
Love from Australia xx
I remember while heading to Vietnam, we stopped by Taiwan for a brief moment at the Teipei artport. I remember my parents buying a box of these things there before bringing it along on the trip. Safe to say, they were delicious
I fell in love with these a few years ago. I’d definitely would like to try making them some day 😍
It always makes my day when Inga uploads! Thank you so much 💓
I doubt I’d ever make them, but watching her, so calming. Thank you Inga💖
Same!
I loved these growing up! We’d usually get Chiate whenever we visit Taiwan. I’ve never tried making it before but excited to watch!
Oooh love these! Gonna try to make these soon.
These cakes are my FAVORITE!!! Thanks so much Inga!! Love it
Thank you for recipe and directions in the description
You and Alvin make such Aesthetically pleasing videos. The soft music the narration it is all really enjoyable
I started watching you last week. And have already watched all your videos)) They are very wonderful and have a good atmosphere.💕 Thanks for the new content! Keep going!🤗
Sorry if my english is bad😌
Inga makes quarantine sooooooo much better!!! Love these videos
I've always wondered how to make these, thanks so much! 💛💛💛
these look so good Inga! golden-brown 😍 im drooling
Wow! They look delicious! I'll totally try making these!
these look amazing im gonna make my own versions tomorrow because cups are always different for different people but i love the idea of the pineapple filling thank you
These look INCREDIBLE
Id be nervous to make them becaude i might not like the texture because im very picky lol but they look amazing!
That was amazing as always, east asian culture is just so cool and unique and seeing their food makes me wanna just go and experience it
Hope that it becomes true in future, till then keep making these foods 🙌❤
Looks delicious. Keep up the good work!
omg I have been craving these! I can’t wait to make it 😮
I love your voice. I could listen to you talk about food all day
I'm definitely gonna try this cause we have pineapples in our backyard and it's ready to be harvest soon. Thanks for this awesome recipe Inga💓
I’m definitely going to make these!🍍 Thanks for the tips👍
2:49 That was a hilarious expression 🤣🤣
What expression?
@@nehemiec.795 2:49
wow amazing Inga! Thankyou for sharing the recipe- they look great!!!! :)
This cake is very similar to Indonesia's nastar, we usually make it when it's eid fitri day
Sevina Putri really? what’s the recipe?😍
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon tbh i never make it myself but you can search "nastar recipe" on google!
pineapple tarts are actually very common throughout some parts of southeast asia and east asia. They were influenced by the portuguese from the 16th century. Thats why they're all pretty similar😊
But imo the taste is different. When I taste the taiwanese pineapple jam version, I can taste other ingredients in it. And when I search the recipe there’s winter melon. Also the jam is smoother than Indonesian pineapple jam.
For the dough the taiwanese version is milkier and crumblier than Indonesia version. I’m Indonesian but I like taiwanese version more. I eat Putri Salju rather than nastar when eid al fitr 🙂
It's actually the same thing 😊(sorry if I sound passive aggressive,I just can't put it in another way)
Yes! so excited for this recipe! I visited Taiwan a few years ago and ate these. I have not forgot about them since. They are sorta expensive at the international grocery stores here in the United States. Now I must make them! Love all of your videos Inga!
I desperately need to try these!!!
These look so good!!
Love your videos aloott ingaa!!! They are so aesthetic and adorable 😻
WoWoWoW!!! So happy to see ur video. My Taiwanese friend sent me a box of Sunny Hills pineapple cakes last year. So yummy! Now I will attempt to follow your recipe for additional pineapple cake enjoyment! 🥳😍
Hi, I'm Vietnamese! I'm selling Taiwanese pineaple cakes recently and I love that I found you today! I never thought of adding some lime peel in the dough. Thank you a lot for sharing & Happy New Year 🥰
Laugh so hard when the kid screamed and she was just so silent 😂
I laughed*
Thank you for sharing this recipe!!! Im going to try it! 🙂🙂🙂
Wow now I want to make them just for that pineapple shape! I have a pineapple mold that’s just been sitting for the longest time 🥰 you made this look actually doable
Thanks for this...I'll surely give this a try
I'm pretty sure Inga has logged more hours in the kitchen than I have studying throughout this quarantine.
Inga, your food looks absolutely heavenly! And your videos are brilliant as always! Be a Pineapple - Stand Tall, Wear a Crown, and Be Sweet on the Inside! 🍍❤
These are HEAVENLY , I love it !
My parents are from so our whole family loves pineapple cake. It’s so good!!! Thx for the recipe Inga!!
We have it too in Indonesia we called it "Nastar".
I believe there are slight differences 😬
Similar, not the same.
Beda rasanya mbak, cobain deh. Yg ini lebih nagih rasanya. Sumpah kalo ada kenalan yg ke taiwan titip beli dan cobain deh. Atau coba cari jastip.
Yg taiwan selainya ga pure nanas, terus ngga berserat gitu. Adonannya juga lbh berasa susu & lebih rapuh pas digigit.
@@maxchen4720 yup 👍
@@anacheah8981 yup 👍
You are one of the most talented people I have ever watch on-line..... Good Job.....
Love from Hong Kong😀! I still remember vividly of how I had to cramp boxes of pineapple cakes into my luggage with my family whenever I went to Taiwan!
I love that even the ones you buy from the grocery store there are wonderful too
This looks so delicious! My mouth watered
OMG!! A video from Inga 2 hours ago!! I love your vids they're so aesthetically pleasing!! I'll be trying this out soon 😊 Have A Nice Day!!!
These looks so delicious! I’ll be making these for Chinese New Year 😍😍
I love these so much. There was a shop in Hawaii that made them and they’re so darn good.
Looks delicious! Gotta try making it
I love anything and everything pineapple, and my parents brought me a box of these delicious cakes back from visiting their good friends in Taiwan. One of the best desserts I’ve ever had! 💛🍍💛🍍💛
A friend of mine once brought a box over from vietnam. They were amazing!🤩
this recipe is exactly what i need in my life right now
Hi Inga, I used this recipe for my cherry shortbread cookies yesterday and succeeded right from the first time. I did however skip the condensed milk as it was too sweet for my liking, and substitute cheese powder for milk powder because I didn't have it, but the crust turned out just as amazing.
I love pineapple cakes! It amazes me how every bakery makes them differently; I had a taste test of 5 or 6 in a row (the last few I had left) and you can’t really go wrong with any of them. It really just comes down to taste preferences. I might try this version (I know one of the pineapple cakes I had included cheese powder in the crust) one day when I’ve more time. Thanks for sharing!
This video sparks joy.
Thank you for sharing, I’ll try to make it
Looks so good! Can’t wait to try it.
Oh my gosh these are so cool! I want some!
yessssssss, this is perfectly timed. I am planning on making fenglisu next week
I learned how to make pineapple cakes last year when I was in Taiwan! I miss these!!
that looks so yummy!
they look so delicious!
