How to Make Bibingka Sweet Rice Flour

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups sweet rice flour (mochiko), 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup shredded coconut.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown and the center is set. For the last 15 minutes of baking, sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup shredded coconut on top to toast.
  8. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
