Chewy Coconut Bibingka (Filipino Rice Cake) image

A very coconutty and chewy rice flour dessert. Traditionally, this is baked in banana leaves, but my family prefers the crispy edges, which is why I use a sheet pan. I have been testing out several types of chewy desserts using rice flour, and this seems to be the favorite.

BIBINGKA (FILIPINO COCONUT-RICE CAKE)



Bibingka (Filipino Coconut-Rice Cake) image

This recipe for bibingka, the celebratory rice cake traditionally eaten around Christmastime in the Philippines, comes from the New York restaurateur Nicole Ponseca. It's a savory side dish with an edge of sweetness, and she always includes it on her Thanksgiving table. Cooked in cast-iron for a deeply golden crust, and hiding slices of salty preserved eggs, the bibingka is topped with grated cheese that gets brown and crisp. Though Ms. Ponseca prefers bibingka without additional coconut on top, traditionalists may want to add a sprinkle.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups/320 grams rice flour
1/2 cup/55 grams glutinous rice flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/76 grams unsalted butter, melted, plus more melted butter for topping, and butter for greasing pan
1 1/2 cups/355 milliliters coconut milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 banana leaf (optional)
1 salted duck egg, sliced (optional)
1 cup/80 grams grated queso de bola or Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup/52 grams grated coconut, for topping (optional)

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.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake

1 tablespoon vanilla
15 ounces can cream of coconut
1 cup milk
8 ounces can crushed pineapple
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.

  • Mix in the remaining ingredients and stir, until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk gives bibingka its rich, creamy flavor. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bibingka tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bibingka in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the bibingka rise and cook evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. Opening the oven door during baking will cause the bibingka to fall.
  • Let the bibingka cool completely before serving. This will help the bibingka set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Bibingka is a delicious and festive Filipino rice cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its chewy texture and浓郁的椰香, bibingka is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give bibingka a try!
