Steps:
- Slice Off the crown and bottom of the pineapple.
- Trim off the thick fibrous skin. Cut out the eyes.
- Place the core into the food processor. Blend it into small pieces.
- Cook the pineapple paste over high heat initially, so that the pineapple juice will reduce quickly. When the pineapple paste is about to dry, reduce to low heat, and continue to simmer.
- Now add the sugar, lemon juice, and maltose.
- Add some unsalted butter.
- The filling is ready when it becomes thick enough like jam.
- Refrigerate for an hour until it becomes slightly harden. It is now ready to use.
- Add the castor sugar to the butter. Cream the butter and sugar until it becomes light and fluffy, which resemble soft ice cream. Next, add the beaten egg and continue mixing until homogenous.
- Sieve the flour, cornstarch, milk powder, and salt, and add to the buttercream mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are combined.
- Keep it in the refrigerator for two hours, or until it is hardened.
- Transfer one portion of the filling to the center of the pastry.
- Fold the pastry to encase the filling inside.
- Place the pineapple dough in the mold and light press the top so that the pastry take the shape of the mold.
- Preheat the oven by adjusting the top and bottom temperature to 165°C/330°F.
- Place the molded pineapple cakes on a tray, line with baking paper. Leave some space in between each of them to allow efficient heating in the oven.
- Bake the cakes for ten minutes at middle rack. Remove and turn the cake over with a pair of tongs.
- Bake for another five to ten minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:
- Pineapple Filling: Drain the pineapple well over a bowl, pushing on it through a fine mesh strainer to push out as much juice as possible. (Save the pineapple juice to drink or for making pineapple mojitos!) Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and salt, set aside.
- In a saucepan place the strained pineapple and cook over medium heat until all the juice is gone and pineapple appears dry; about 5 minutes. Add the sugar/cinnamon/salt mix and stir constantly over medium heat and cook until all the juice is absorbed, it appears dry and sticky. (visually you are looking for a mixture that comes together when you stir and push it around with the spatula). This will take about 10-15 minutes. Add in the corn syrup and cook again until mixture appears sticky and dry. This will take about another 10 minutes. Add in the flour, stir and cook for about 7 more minutes. Mixture will become very sticky and dry. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to cool while you make the pastry.
- Shortcrust Pastry Dough: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180° C). Prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cream butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light; about 1 minute. Beat in egg yolks one at a time, until well combined. Add vanilla, salt and blend.
- In a bowl whisk the flour and corn starch together. To the butter/sugar mixture, add in the flour and corn starch mixture until dough starts to come together, but dough is still a bit craggy, then knead gently with your hands to bring the dough together.
- To form cakes: Take a tablespoon of dough and flatten out in your hand, set aside. Lightly butter your hands, and take a teaspoon of filling and roll it in your hands to form a ball. Place the flattened piece of dough in our hand, and place the ball of filling on top and fold over and bring the dough together to encase the filling. Roll the filled cake ball in your hands, to even out any seams. Shape the filled cake into an equal square. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet at least one inch apart, and bake at 350° F for 15 minutes on one side, then using a small offset spatula, carefully flip over and bake on the other side for 15 minutes more. They will turn lightly golden brown. Let the cakes cool completely on the baking sheet until cool to prevent crumbling. Eat when cool.

- Put the egg pulp into the bowl and keep stirring. The mixture should turn into a dough-like consistency.
- Shape dough balls between your palms to form round balls in a suitable size. Set them aside.

TAIWANESE PINEAPPLE CAKES
Tender, buttery dough wraps around sweet, sticky pineapple filling in these tasty Taiwanese cakes often gifted and enjoyed during the Lunar New Year, but also found year-round. The filling is made from crushed pineapple that's cooked down with sugar until thick and jammy. The shortbread-like dough is then wrapped tightly around the filling and pressed into traditional molds, then baked until just golden.

Steps:
- For the pineapple filling: Put the drained pineapple in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until any remaining liquid has cooked off and the pineapple is almost completely dry, about 12 minutes. Add the granulated sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch and lemon juice. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is golden brown, very thick and jammy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, uncovered, until completely cool, about 1 hour. This can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
- For the pastry dough: Once the pineapple filling is cool, make the dough. Pulse the cake flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, milk powder, custard powder and salt in a food processor until the butter is thoroughly mixed into the flour and the dough is starting to clump together, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolk, then continue to pulse until a smooth, homogenous dough forms. Scoop the dough into fifteen 1 tablespoon-size pieces, then roll into uniform balls.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Spray the inside of each of fifteen 1 1/2-by-2-inch rectangular aluminum molds generously with nonstick cooking spray and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Divide the cold pineapple filling into fifteen 2 teaspoon-size balls.
- Working one at a time, use a rolling pin to roll one dough ball into a thin round (about 3 inches wide and about 1/8 inch thick) on a piece of parchment lightly dusted with flour. Place one ball of filling in the center of the dough, then shape the dough up and around the filling, pinching the ends to seal. Roll between the palms of your hands to make uniform. Place into one of the greased molds, then gently press so it fills the mold and is level with the top edges. Repeat with the remaining filling and dough until all 15 cakes are formed.
- Bake until the top of each cake is matte and puffed slightly and the bottom is light golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then carefully press out of the molds. Enjoy warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
