WATCH: How to Make Bibingka

This classic Filipino bibingka recipe only needs a few pantry staples to recreate at home.

Wildflour Café + Bakery’s version is an updated version of the local treat. Instead of the usual rice cake made with rice flour and kakang gata (the first press of coconut milk), the cafe bakes a light, fluffy, Japanese-style cheesecake as its bibingka base. The tops of their cheesecake look stunning: brown and caramelized, and topped with slices of chewy cheddar and salted duck egg.
