Traditional cakes have their own taste and characteristics for us to enjoy in various events, such as the traditional cake that I will present to you this afternoon, namely the bamboo putu cake, which is a very popular traditional cake in Indonesia, this cake is very unique, its shape resembles bamboo, because it is put into a small bamboo mold, but you know my bamboo putu cake I do not print using a bamboo mold, but an old banana leaf mold, hehehe..
The characteristic of bamboo putu cake is its authentic aroma with pandan aroma, which is usually green bamboo putu cake, but there is also white bamboo putu cake, and this time I will make this bamboo putu cake using pandan flavoring only, because I don't have real pandan leaves at home.
The process of making it is also very easy, and the ingredients are also very easy to find, oh yeah why am I making this bamboo putu cake today, because my husband asked me to make this cake, usually I make this cake during the month of Ramadan, a month full of blessings, and forgiveness for Muslims, because in the month of Ramadan we are required not to eat and drink from morning until sunset,For a whole month, and soon we will enter the month of Ramadan, which we have been looking forward to.
Putu Bambu Cake using banana leaf mold
Here are the ingredients and steps that I use to make bamboo putu cake, using a banana leaf mold.
Materials used
200 grams of grated coconut
100 grams of brown sugar
1/2 tbsp Vanilla powder
2 tbsp Pandan flavoring
1/2 tbsp Salt
Manufacturing Procedure
Steam the flour and grated coconut for about 15 minutes. So that the coconut does not go stale quickly, and the flour becomes smooth and easy to shape.

Add salt and vanilla to the flour, then Add pandan flavoring little by little into the flour, while stirring until the flour is evenly green, then sieve the flour so that the texture is smooth.

Set aside the flour mixture first, now we continue to make the cake mold using banana leaves, take a banana leaf, I measure the length using a bottle of vanilla powder, then roll the banana leaf into an elongated round, then hex it at the top and bottom, so it doesn't open.

Once the mold is ready, put the flour mixture into the mold, put in 2 handfuls of it, then put in one tablespoon of palm sugar, then cover it again with 2 handfuls of flour mixture.

Continue steaming the dough until it is cooked. Steam for 1 45 minutes, until it is solid.

RESULTS
For the grated coconut, eat it with the bamboo putu cake. It will be even more delicious,Usually I make this cake in the morning, it can be for family breakfast, accompanied by hot tea or coffee, makes me really enjoy it.

Anyway, for the first try, it was quite good, but unfortunately the cake crumbled easily and wasn't very dense, I think it was because when I put the dough into the banana leaf mold, I didn't press it until it was solid. But as a suggestion, you can use the original mold, which is a mold made of bamboo, so that the results are beautiful.
