Bibinca — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

A rich, layered dessert of coconut milk, eggs, and sugar baked in stages to create distinct golden layers of caramelized sweetness.

Ingredients

1 Whisk eggs and sugar together until thick and pale, about five minutes of vigorous beating.
2 Gradually add coconut milk, melted butter, rice flour, cardamom, and nutmeg, mixing until smooth.
3 Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius and heavily grease a round baking tin with butter.
4 Pour a thin layer of batter into the tin and bake for eight minutes until set and golden on top.
5 Add another thin layer of batter on top and return to oven for another eight minutes. Repeat until all batter is used.
6 Allow to cool completely before unmolding, then slice to reveal the beautiful distinct layers inside.

Did You Know?

Bibinca requires patience as each layer must be individually baked, meaning a full cake can take two hours to complete.
