Awug
Awug is a traditional Sundanese cake. This cake is made primarily from rice flour, topped with grated coconut and a palm sugar syrup. Awug has a sweet taste and it is best enjoyed while warm. It is usually sold in the morning at markets or in the afternoon by street vendors.
250 g rice flour
250 g grated coconut
½ tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
150 g palm sugar, thinly shaved

Combine the steamed rice flour with the coconut, white sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes uniformly crumbly.
Prepare molds by greasing the insides with a little oil.
Fill one mold halfway with the rice flour mixture. Add a thin layer of palm sugar, then fill the rest of the mold completely with the rice flour mixture. Repeat with the rest of the rice flour mixture, palm sugar, and molds.
Preheat a steamer pot and basket over high heat so the water is boiling.
Steam the awug-awug cakes over the boiling water for 25 minutes.
