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 CAKE
Posting this recipe for World Tour 2016. Found this yummy looking dessert on a blog called Zestuous. Bob's Red Mill has a sweet rice flour and cream of coconut is the sweetened kind, like you find near the alcohol/pina colada mix.

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.

Steps:
- Rinse banana leaves under warm water and trim away thick edges. Trace the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan onto banana leaf. Quickly pass and heat leaves over stove flames for a few seconds or until just softened. Line pan with the leafs, making sure it is intact with no rips. If not using banana leaf, substitute a greased parchment paper.
- In large bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together until well dispersed.
- In another bowl, combine coconut milk and butter and stir until blended. Add to rice flour mixture and gently stir until batter is smooth. Add beaten eggs and stir until blended.
- Divide mixture and pour into the prepared pan. Bake in a 350 F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If desired, place under the broiler for about 1 minute or until nicely charred.

BIBINGKA (FILIPINO COCONUT CAKE)
Bibingka is a sweet rice cake that's popular throughout the Philippines. Different variations exist, but they're almost always a single-layer unfrosted cake that's served as a dessert or for breakfast. This recipe is unique in that the sugar sprinkled on top adds a crunchy caramelized touch. Cream of coconut can be found in the alcohol aisle in larger markets, and sweet rice flour is in the Asian aisle. (Regular rice flour is OK, but it probably won't have the slight sticky touch this cake is known for.)
