Suncake (taiyang bing) is a popular pastry from Taiwan. It is known for its sun-like shape and sweet filling, typically made from malted sugar.
History[edit | edit source]
The suncake is believed to have originated in the city of Taichung, Taiwan. It was first made by bakers in the early 20th century as a tribute to the sun god.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of a suncake are malted sugar and flour. The dough is made from the flour, while the filling is made from the malted sugar. The dough is then filled with the sugar filling, shaped into a round disc, and baked until golden.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Suncakes are often given as gifts in Taiwan, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival and other special occasions. They are also a popular souvenir for tourists.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of the suncake. Some bakeries add other ingredients to the filling, such as sesame seeds or pine nuts. There are also versions that use different types of sugar for the filling.
