Bibingka
A Filipino rice cake eaten around Christmas, bibingka is traditionally cooked in a clay pot lined by banana leaves. The popular dessert or snack is made with rice, coconut milk, eggs, and milk, along with various other ingredients. While the traditional method of cooking bibingka is time consuming, modern recipes call for a much less labor-intensive process of baking in an oven.
