Putu Ayu

Putu ayu is one of the most popular traditional foods in Indonesia. This cake has characteristics that are similar to sponge cake but there is a unique touch to this cake which is combined with grated coconut. Now because it is very similar to sponge cake so this cake has a very soft texture, there is certainly a distinctive aroma that makes me always want this cake.

I got this cake recipe a long time ago from my brother, he used to make this cake at home when I was a kid. Yeah she is very similar to me because we both love to be in the kitchen and make various dishes. Well because yesterday I forgot this recipe, I contacted her again and she enthusiastically informed me of the recipe and said she also wanted it. Unfortunately, our homes are very far apart so I will prepare it for her next time.

Next, I will prepare the ingredients and follow the steps needed to prepare the recipe for this cake.
