Apem Panggang-Rice Flour Pancake with Grated Coconut Topping-Javanese Style

"Apem" is a traditional snack which originally served during some ceremony at Javanese palaces in Yogyakarta and Surakarta. At later days this snack is also prepared among Javanese household to celebrate some important dates such as celebration of births, Ied Mubarak, 100days of grief, etc.

I love the taste of this snack since it is a combination of sweetness, slightly sour (from the fermentation) of the cake and saltiness of the topping.

This time, I would love to share this with other Indonesian food blogger for the IDFB#2-Challenge.
