Balinese sticky rice flour cake with palm sugar sauce

Terang Bulan

There is this street food called Terang Bulan in the Sidemen area of Bali that has a simple but unique texture and flavor, a Bali flavor. Eventually figured out that it is a pancake made with sticky rice flour, the sauce inside is simply palm sugar cooked in coconut milk and freshly grated coconut, simple and delicious.

It is quite hard to make many pancakes to serve at a dinner party, so decided to bake it as a cake instead.
