Bibingka is a sweet Filipino treat that actually originated in China. Brought to the Philippines by the Chinese, this humble rice cake is now a well-loved dish among locals and is traditionally served on Noche Buena, a special Christmas Eve dinner celebrated in the Philippines. I love this Bibingka recipe - with the classic flavors of rich creamy coconut mixed with a slight saltiness from the cheese and salted eggs. Usually cooked in clay pots and banana leaves, this soft spongy delight is a festive addition to any holiday menu.
