Bibingka is a traditional Filipino sponge cake made with rice flour and coconut milk, usually topped with cheese, butter, or margarine. The traditional way of cooking bibingka requires a special ceramic container resulting to a slightly charred and aromatic bibingka, but now we can have the same results without the time-consuming process.
