Sun Cake (Tai Yang Bing / 太阳饼)
Taichung, Taiwan — 20th century local specialty
Taichung's signature gift pastry: a flaky, multi-layered Chinese shortcrust pastry filled with a sweet malt sugar paste (mai ya tang). The pastry uses the same Chinese flaky technique (water dough wrapped around fat dough) as wife cake, but the filling is distinctively honey-sweet malt sugar. A Taiwanese gift culture staple — boxes of sun cakes are taken back from Taichung visits.
