Bibingka Recipes

CHEWY COCONUT BIBINGKA (FILIPINO RICE CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 12x17-inch rimmed baking sheet.
• Beat condensed milk, coconut milk, and melted butter together in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until combined. Add macapuno, 1 jar at a time, and beat until combined. Gradually beat in mochiko flour. Beat in brown sugar; beat in vanilla extract. Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and sides are slightly dark brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Allow to cool, about 20 minutes, before loosening the sides and cutting into squares.

BIBINGKA (SWEET RICE FLOUR)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter or spray a 9 x 13 glass dish.
• Cream the butter, sugar and eggs in a bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients and blend well.
• Pour into glass dish and bake for 40-50 minutes.
• Edges should have a nice light brown color while the middle is a nice cream color. Eat hot or cold.
• (Optional) I like to add the shredded coconut to the batter. For the last 15 minutes of baking, I also like to take some of the shredded coconut and sprinkle it to the top of the cake to toast the coconut. Very delicious!

BIBINGKA (FILIPINO COCONUT-RICE CAKE)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together rice flours, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in melted butter, coconut milk and eggs. Whisk mixture until smooth.
• Wash and dry banana leaf, if using, and line a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with it. (One leaf should be enough, but if more are needed, make sure to overlap leaves so there are no gaps.) Butter the leaf, and trim edges leaving a 1- to 2-inch overhang. Alternatively, generously grease skillet with butter.
• Pour mixture into skillet and bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with salted egg and cheese. Return skillet to oven until bibingka is golden and browned, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes more. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with coconut, if desired.

BIBINGKA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• If not using banana leaves, coat a jumbo 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
• If using a banana leaf, use the top of a small bowl or plate to trace and cut 6 rounds from the banana leaf, about 5 1/2 to 6 inches in diameter. Line each jumbo muffin mold with a banana leaf round.
• In a large bowl, combine the rice flour , granulated sugar, baking powder , and salt.
• In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, melted butter , and egg.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter should be runny.
• Divide the batter evenly among the muffin molds, about 1/2 cup of batter in each.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each bibingka with a slice of salted egg, if using, and 1 tablespoon of cheese.
• Return to the oven and continue to bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Brush with melted butter and garnish with more shredded coconut and cheese. Enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all ingredients in a greased 13 x 9 pan. Bake 1 hour at 350F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When cool, cut into squares.

BIBINGKANG CASSAVA (CASSAVA CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• To make the cake, combine the egg yolks, cassava, macapuno (or shredded coconut, if using), coconut milk and the ½ cup sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl and mix well.
• Pour the cake batter into a greased 8 x 8-in (20 x 20-cm) cake pan. The cake batter will appear to be very loose and wet at this point, but don't worry, the cassava will absorb most of the liquid during baking. Place the cake pan into the oven and bake until the top of the cake appears dry and no liquid is floating on the surface, 45-60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the topping, whisk together the egg whites and the ¼ cup (65 ml) sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl until very well incorporated. Although you are using egg whites, don't be concerned with making a foam or a meringue, just mix until combined.
• Remove the cake from the oven and evenly pour the topping onto the cake. Return the cake to the oven and bake until the topping sets, about 10 minutes more.
• Remove the cake from the oven and rest the cake in its pan on a cooling rack. Cool the cake completely before cutting it into squares. The cassava cake can be served at room temperature, or cold out of the refrigerator.

CHINKY'S BIBINGKA

Steps:

• NOTE: Cassava, also known as Manioc, tapioca or yucca, can be found in Filipino or Latin American food stores. Usually sold frozen and grated. Mix together the cassava with the coconut milk, melted butter and eggs. Stir in the white sugar, salt, vanilla, cheese and lemon rind.
• Pour batter into a 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 30-35 minutes or until done.
• To Make Topping: Put 2 cups coconut milk, condensed milk, flour, and some grated cheese in a saucepan and boil, stirring constantly. When thick, add the slightly beaten egg yolks. Cook for two minutes. Spread on top of the cooked cassava and bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for ten minutes or until golden brown.
