White King Bibingka 500g

White King Bibingka mix makes a Filipino Christmas cake any time of year

Bibingka is the soft, slightly sweet rice cake that shows up on Filipino breakfast tables and at Christmas gatherings, traditionally cooked over hot coals in a banana leaf lined mould. White King's mix takes the guesswork out of getting the texture right, blending rice flour and wheat flour so the cake bakes up tender with a gentle sweetness in every bite. It is a comforting taste for anyone who grew up with bibingka, and a friendly starting point if you are new to Filipino products and want to try a classic dessert.

How to bake bibingka at home

You do not need charcoal and a clay mould to get good results. Combine the mix with water, sugar, beaten eggs and melted butter or margarine, then bake in a lined pan in the oven or even an oven toaster until golden and set. Brush the top with a little more butter once it comes out and serve warm, topped with grated coconut, cheese or salted egg if you like it the traditional way. It sits nicely alongside other bakes from our dessert collection, and if you want to build a full Filipino cake repertoire, our flour range has the rice flour and wheat flour blends that go into most classic recipes.
