How to bake your own Christmas bibingka
Traditionally eaten during the holiday season, bibingka is a form of rice cake made with rice flour and water or coconut milk. It is round-shaped, has soft spongy consistency and is typically eaten warm, comparable to rice pudding.
This kakanin is a close relative of a pudding from Goa, India called bebinca, a type of dessert also made with flour, sugar, butter and coconut milk. Bebinca is also popular in Mozambique and Portugal.
In an episode of “Brigada”, Cata Tibayan introduced some of the best bibingkas in the metro. Fortunately, you do not have to go far to taste this scrumptious dessert – you can make your own Christmas rice cake in the comforts of your own kitchen!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 – 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare small pans or bouillon bowl with banana leaves.
- Whisk baking powder, rice flour, glutinous rice flour and salt in a bowl. Mix well.
- Add sugar in the bowl with beaten eggs and then butter. Alternately add coconut milk and flour. Beat until just mixed. Be careful not to overbeat the batter.
- Split the batter into small pans. Put slices of salted egg on top before setting the cakes inside the oven.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Broil the cakes about a few minutes just until the top turns light or medium brown. Be attentive in watching the cakes to avoid burning them.
- Brush the cakes with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Add grated coconut. You can also add grated cheese. Serve warm.
