'''Wingko''', also known as '''Wingko Babat''', is a traditional [[Indonesian cuisine|Indonesian]] cake made primarily from [[coconut]], [[glutinous rice flour]], and [[sugar]]. It is a popular snack in [[Java]], especially in the cities of [[Semarang]] and [[Surabaya]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Wingko is believed to have originated from the town of [[Babat]], in the [[Lamongan Regency]] of [[East Java]]. The cake's name, "Wingko Babat," reflects its place of origin. Over time, it became a popular treat in other parts of Java, particularly in Semarang, where it is often sold as a souvenir.<br />
<br />
==Ingredients and Preparation==<br />
The main ingredients of wingko are grated coconut, glutinous rice flour, and sugar. Some variations may include additional ingredients such as [[vanilla]], [[pandan]] leaves, or [[banana]] to enhance the flavor.<br />
<br />
The preparation of wingko involves mixing the grated coconut with glutinous rice flour and sugar to form a dough. This dough is then shaped into small, round cakes and grilled over a low flame until the exterior is golden brown and slightly crispy, while the inside remains soft and chewy.<br />
