I Made Buttery Pineapple Cakes From Scratch

[@faadhilahindiramaharani1596]

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).

[@zararayna854]

Yes correct

[@jollyzhao1866]

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)

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.

[@nehemiec.795]

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.

[@m_dero]

3:40 The way she said "Oh, it smells so good" was soooo cute! Really want her to voice a Disney character

[@MHS-us1qv]

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.

[@NicoleMoore-tp9sj]

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!

[@sunardiwahyunin6241]

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.

[@mundaneamazing]

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!

Awesome recipe Inga. And your voice is so calming and sweet. Love the way you go through the recipes. Godspeed!

[@v.7262]

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

[@rambutketiak]

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.

[@v.7262]

@@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

[@sherfj]

The Nastar and Indomie fanbase is the same amount in each (sory for my terrible English, i have gotten used to texting in Indonesian)

[@AkbarAlhadi-bw2to]

Pineapple cake is an dutch cookies since collonial era. The cookies arrived in taiwan because dutch also have a collony in taiwan.

[@ongwannable0807]

To be honest, I love when you film like this compare to just a voice over. The video is more lively!

[@aliciac752]

"because I figured that's an ingredient thats not as easy for most of us to find" *Cheese powder*

[@bsidethebox]

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.

[@recoil53]

@@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).

[@sunardiwahyunin6241]

You can use regular parmesan cheese ! My grandma always uses regular parmesan cheese in these treats.

[@emmew6867]

Wow!! So creative!! The pineapple shape is super cute - and looks so delicious in that form 😊

This is called “nastar” in Indonesia, which is adapted from Dutch phrase of “ananas taart”

[@arsennahasibuan6]

I don't think this is nastar. cuz nastar crumbles very very veryy easily

[@MsLocaFlea]

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

[@jeanetten.s.8557]

@@arsennahasibuan6 I think thats just because the Nastar you have lacks butter on the dough

[@araisikewai]

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.

[@tinalai9941]

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.

This cake is very similar to Indonesia's nastar, we usually make it when it's eid fitri day

[@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon]

Sevina Putri really? what’s the recipe?😍

[@sevinaps]

@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon tbh i never make it myself but you can search "nastar recipe" on google!

[@mewrrorball]

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😊

[@rambutketiak]

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 🙂

[@therapydad]

It's actually the same thing 😊(sorry if I sound passive aggressive,I just can't put it in another way)

[@novidiamavi]

In Indonesia, we used to make it with Wijsman Butter and it will enhance your the taste, not only pineapple tart (we called it "nastar"), but also any cookies you make. For the pinapple filling, grate it! It will save the juice and you wouldn't end up with only leftover pulp. Also, add 1-2 cinnamon sticks and 1-2 cloves to make the filling a bit aromatic.
