Bibingka is a traditional rice cake in the Philippines. Usually present in every Filipino family gatherings especially during Christmas dinner.  I'm such a fan of this recipe because of its simplicity. The rice and coconut milk is such a great variety of ingredients that is present in every Filipino cuisine or Filipino snacks.




To make Bibingka, you will need:

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh milk
  • 1 piece salted duck egg - sliced (normal boiled egg will do as well)
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • 3 pieces raw eggs
  • Pre-cut banana leaf - if using. In this recipe, obviously not using banana leaf due to not available in our area.
How to:

- Pre- heat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
- Mix the following : rice flour, baking powder and salt - set aside.
- In the other bowl, cream the butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add in the eggs and whisk it well until incorporated.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture.
- Pour in coconut milk and fresh milk to the batter mixture.
- Put banana leaves around your moulder or baking paper.
- Pour the mixture to the pan.
- Bake for 15 to 20 mins. 
- Remove from the oven and put in sliced salted duck eggs or boiled eggs, grated cheese and put it in the oven for another 15 to 20 mins. Or until toothpick comes out clean when pricked.
- Remove from the oven and brush the top with butter and I like to dust in some white sugar on top for a more taste sweet bibingka.
- Share, serve and enjoy with the one you love.
