More on coconut, this recipe is from my auntie Ketut Karmiti with a little bit of modification from me. She will made it couple of hours before the Balinese ceremony started (Otonan, Purnama, etc) hence "dadakan" but its the best Jaja (kue or cake in Balinese) that I'm craving from time to time. When I was away from my Parents home I discovered that WINGKO has similar taste with this particular Jaja Uli and nothing beat the freshly made one (obviously).
Its not sweet cake but "gurih" (help me with translation here, anyone ?) in taste, just right for me ;-)
Anyway, you will need :
2 small Freshly grated peeled Coconut
150 gr Sugar
275 ml Water
1 tsp Vanilla essence
1/2 tsp salt
400 gr Sticky Rice Flour (Tepung Ketan Putih)
200 gr Rice Flour (Tepung Beras)
1 Egg Yolk
2 Tbsp Honey/Maple Syrup
Boil water then add sugar + salt + vanilla essence until dissolved with small fire, cool it off .
Mix Flour with Grated coconut evenly, add the liquid sugar water bit by bit then start kneading the mixture
Once it's not sticky in your hand then its ready
Spread it on a Baking Tray lined with paper, flatten them up with the bottom of your palm evenly
Bake it on high (gas mark 6) for 20 minutes.
Take it out from oven then brush the Egg Yolk + Honey on top of the cake, put it back in the oven
When the top is golden in color take it out, cool it off on a wire rack
Served 12
