So simple and yet so delicious to satisfy that sweet tooth craving. Bibingka, or as I like to call it “Balokbakba”, is a Filipino sweet cake. The varieties are endless using so many types of ingredients. Add Malagkit, sweet sticky rice, to the equation and you now have a sweet rice cake-Bibingka Malagkit.
Usually my craving for something sweet hits head on around 7pm but I never feel like waiting for the rice to cook or/and having to bake it so I save it for another day. This time however, I wised up and made it for lunch, that way it would be ready for the evening attack. There are many different ways to make this Filipino dessert, so I accredit this great recipe to my sister!
Bibingka Malagkit
Author: Raven Chelanee
Recipe type: Dessert
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 65 mins Total time: 1 hour 15 mins
Yields: 4 slices
Serve warm alone or with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
2 cups of Malagikit (sweet sticky rice)
1 can of Coconut Milk
¾ cups of Brown Sugar
Vanilla to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Start the rice in your rice cooker or on the stove.
Add the one can of coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan. Continually stir over low heat while the rice is cooking.
Once the rice is finished, put it into any baking dish. I used a glass 8×6 which was the perfect size for the amount.
Reserve ½ cup of rice.
Reserve about ½ of the sauce and pour the rest onto the rice.
Mix it up and flatten the top.
Pour ¾ of the reserved sauce onto the rice.
Bake that bad boy in the oven for a good 30-45 minutes.
Take the reserved rice in a bowl and pour the rest of the sauce along with it. Eat and enjoy while the rice cake bakes. Allow to cool just enough so that it is still nice and warm when eaten.
