Morning Dessert

Good day yall! Today I will be posting about food, a Filipino dessert. This one has lots of name, depending on what part of the Philippines you are from. Some call it Bibingka, Bingka, Puto and a lot more. This is actually a rice cake, made of rice flour and coconut milk and we usually eat it with coffee or native chocolate drink in the morning instead of eating it as a dessert. There are hundred different ways how to cook this cake, as I said depending on what part in the Philippines you are from. In the Visayas area where I am from, the most delicious Bingka for me is the one made in Mandaue. I have been looking and asking everybody of the recipe but until now I couldn't get a hold of it. Today, I tried the recipe I found in the internet.

Ingredients:

1cup rice four

1/2 cup all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup water

2 eggs slightly beaten

1/2 cup sugar

cheese for toppings ( I use mozzarella, that's the only cheese I have at home)

2 tsp butter

2/3 cup coconut milk

banana leaves for mold linings

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F.
Line the molds with banana leaf. The banana leaf makes the cooked Bingka smells delicious.
Combine the dry ingredients, sugar, rice flour, baking powder and all purpose four in a bowl.
Combine the wet ingredients, slightly beaten eggs, butter, coconut milk and water in another bowl.
Pour the wet mixture to the dry mixture slowly and combine thoroughly.
Fill the prepared molds and top with grated cheese.
Bake for about 25 minutes until the top turns brown.
