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 (COCONUT RICE CAKES WITH BANANA LEAVES)
Bibingka is a cake made of rice flour, so it's naturally gluten-free, chewy but tender throughout, with a soufflé-like fluffiness. It's traditionally cooked in a clay pot over and under hot coals, a difficult setup to replicate; instead, I pour the batter into a cast-iron pan lined with banana leaves, which char as the cake bakes, infusing it with their scent. (You can cut the ribs off the leaves to make them more malleable.) Nearly halfway through baking, the cake is topped with salted duck egg, an ingredient available at Asian specialty groceries. If you can't find it, the cake will be more forthrightly sweet, lacking that sly note of brine. As a final touch, if you have a kitchen torch available, char the edges of the banana leaves, so a little smokiness suffuses the delicate cake.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and center racks.
- Line two 8-inch cast-iron skillets or similar pans with banana leaves: Set 2 large sheets in each pan, allowing banana leaves to overlap in the center and come up the sides. Cut off any overhang that extends more than 1/2 inch beyond the lip of the skillet. Melt the butter, and add 1 tablespoon melted butter to each skillet, brushing it to coat the bottom and sides, reserving the remaining melted butter for the cake.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and Parmesan; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice flour, sugar and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs and the remaining 6 tablespoons melted butter. Add about a third of the flour mixture and stir to combine. Repeat twice, integrating dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
- Pour half the cake batter into each buttered skillet and smooth each into an even layer.
- Bake the cakes for 30 minutes, until set around the edges but the surface of the center is puffy and not fully cooked through, rotating the cakes halfway through cooking.
- Remove the cakes from the oven. Form the cream cheese mixture into about 10 1/2-inch-thick logs. Top each cake with a few slices of duck egg coins in the center, then arrange five cream cheese logs on each cake, radiating outward from the center of each cake, like the arms of a starfish. (The logs will sink in lightly on the top, but should not sink in fully.) Return the cakes to the oven to continue baking for 10 minutes more, then increase the temperature to 400 degrees and cook until the top is a deep golden and cakes are fully set, 10 to 15 minutes. The cakes will be lightly domed and should spring back when touched.
- Let cool 10 minutes then cut into slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BIBINGKA (FILIPINO COCONUT-RICE CAKE)
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: High-quality ingredients will result in a more flavorful bibingka. Opt for freshly grated coconut, pure coconut milk, and glutinous rice flour for the best results.
- Pay attention to the proportions: The ratio of ingredients is crucial for a successful bibingka. Make sure to measure accurately and follow the recipe closely.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bibingka. Mix the ingredients just until they are well combined.
- Cook the bibingka over low heat: Low heat allows the bibingka to cook evenly without burning. Be patient and let the bibingka cook for the full amount of time.
- Serve the bibingka warm: Bibingka is best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven. You can also reheat it gently in a steamer or microwave.
Conclusion:
With its soft and fluffy texture, rich coconut flavor, and golden-brown crust, bibingka is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you choose a traditional bibingka or a more modern variation, you're sure to love this classic Filipino treat. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to share with friends and family, give bibingka a try. You won't be disappointed.
