How To Cook Home-Made Bibingka Easily

Ingredients we need:

• 2 cups rice flour
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 1 can (400 mL) coconut milk
• 1 banana leaf (optional)
• 1 tbsp. unsalted butter, sliced
• 2 tbsp. fresh (or frozen) grated coconut

Step by Step Cooking Procedures:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).  Prepare a lightly greased 8 x 3 in. round baking pan. Alternatively, lined with banana leaf, if using (cut according to the size of the pan); set aside. The banana leaf adds fragrance to the cake when cooked. To make individual cakes, line a 4 in. wide and 2-1/4 in. deep mini pan with 5 in. banana leaf (if using).
2. In a bowl, place rice flour, brown sugar, baking powder, eggs, melted butter and coconut milk; mix thoroughly.
3. Pour batter mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour or until browned (a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean).
4. Place the cake onto a serving platter and put butter slices on top. Sprinkle with grated coconut.
5. And you're done! Enjoy with family and friends. This recipe yields 4 to 6 pieces.
