Best 7 Bibingka Filipino Dessert Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 12x17-inch rimmed baking sheet.

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!

EASY BIBINGKA RECIPE (FILIPINO RICE CAKE)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 190c/375f. Grease large muffin cups with melted butter or line with grilled banana leaves. Place in an oven-proof tray.
• In a small pot, melt butter slowly over low heat until it turns clear and brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove from heat and pour onto a heat-proof bowl. Residual. Let it cool completely.
• In a large bowl, whisk brown butter and sugar. Add eggs, salt, vanilla, evaporated milk, and coconut milk. Whisk until sugar has completely dissolved.
• Sift the rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and baking powder into a strainer over the liquid ingredients. Stir until well combined and lump-free.
• Immediately fill the muffin cups with the bibingka batter. If the batter sits on the counter for a period of time, make sure to stir it well before pouring it over the muffin cups.
• Top with a slice of cheese and sliced salted egg on top. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the top rack of the oven until the top is brown. Start checking at 10 minutes. Move the rice cakes to the middle rack and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes until the toothpick inserted comes out clean (see notes for oven types).
• Let it cool completely. Sprinkle with sugar or grated coconut on top. Serve and enjoy!

BIBINGKA (FILIPINO RICE CAKE)

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375°F (190°C). If using banana leaf, rinse banana leaf pieces under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Working with one piece of banana leaf at a time, hold banana leaf with tongs about 2 inches above medium-high flame of a gas burner, turning every 3 to 5 seconds, until soft and pliable, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining piece of banana leaf. Place banana leaf pieces in an 8-inch anodized aluminum cake pan or cast iron skillet, arranging them in an overlapping configuration to completely cover the bottom and sides of the pan, pressing down on them with your hands to ensure they are flush with the pan. Brush evenly with 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon; 15g) melted butter and set aside. Alternatively, if not using banana leaf, grease an 8-inch anodized aluminum cake pan or cast iron skillet with melted butter or pan spray and line with parchment ; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together white rice flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined, about 1 minute. This dry mixture will look homogeneous well before it truly is, so use patience at this stage, and whisk longer than may seem necessary.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ounce (2 tablespoons; 30g) melted butter, sugar, coconut milk, and egg, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture to coconut milk mixture and whisk together until completely smooth and no dry flour remains, about 1 minute. Using a flexible spatula, fold batter once or twice from the bottom up, then scrape into prepared pan.
• Bake until batter is beginning to set at the edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and evenly distribute macapuno in a single layer over top. Return pan to oven and continue to bake until cake is puffed, edges are lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with few moist crumbs attached, or to an internal temperature of around 200°F (93°C), about 12 minutes.
• Remove from oven and preheat broiler. Brush top of cake with remaining melted butter and lightly sprinkle sugar evenly over top. Broil until cake is golden brown and macapuno is slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife along edges to loosen, then invert onto a wire rack, remove banana leaves or parchment, and place cake right side up on serving platter. Serve warm.

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.

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.
