Bibingka

Bibingka is a beloved Filipino rice cake traditionally baked in clay pots lined with banana leaves over charcoal, with additional heat from above. It is closely associated with the Christmas season, when vendors set up outside churches to sell fresh bibingka to churchgoers after the pre-dawn Simbang Gabi masses. The cake is soft, slightly chewy, and fragrant from the banana leaves, topped with slices of salted egg, butter, and freshly grated coconut.
