One of the first memories we probably all have as children are sweets. I am no different. Birthday cakes were a big hit, but charcoal baked bibingkas were in a class all their own and evoke their very own special moments. It is a treat borne out of necessity, for I doubt that conventional ovens as we know them now were readily available back then. The ingenuity of foodies should not be estimated though for we will find a way of doing things to attain the taste that we want. Sort of like the original mission of Lasang Pinoy, literally translated 'tastes like Pinoy'.

Oh yum. Best with coconut and butter!
And now it will be a recipe for an American-Filipino expat in Italy! I love bibingka, but never made it before. Something that I better not let on to the old filipino ladies at hula lessons...already I got scolded because I didn't know what was sinigang. Oh well...
wow! oo nga i remember bibingka na medyo may tutong pa sa ilalim. we can still buy them back home. there's this road from cavite to san pedro laguna... may nagtitinda mainit init pa!
i just finished my LP10 entry... in between trabaho :) i will be waiting for your LP announcement!
Yummy!
Mabuti na lang at may bibingkahan malapit dito sa place namin na nagtitinda sa buong taon. Kaya basta natakam ako sa bibingka, punta lang doon katulad ngayon.
I know na talagang namimiss ng mga kababayan natin ang bibingka dito sa atin.
thanks for the recipe! i have mochiko in the cupboard! supposedly for puto...i think i'm making bibingka instead...so what's up for lp11?:)
hi toni! speaking of butter... I forgot to tell you, when I was commenting on the condensed milk sammie, I almost said something about star margarine and sugar palaman! serendipitous, di ba? :-)
My kids used to laugh when I do the butter & sugar over pancakes until they tried it. Now they are fans too. So the childhood memories continue.
rowena! I should scold you too, how can you go without sinigang in your repertoir!!?? Filipino blood is laced with sinigang, don't you know? :-D
Hi iska! yeah, I love the slightly burnt edges too, so I have another experiment in mind to make the bibingka. I think next time I'll try cooking it on the grill, over live charcoals just to get the slightly charred taste.
Naku, lani nanginggit ka pa. I miss that so much, buying it from the vendors still warm, with the salted egg and cheese on top. Yumm!
hi ces! I am just loving this mochico stuff right now. I have other filipino sweets I'd like to try it on. Coming soon ang LP11, just get ready ;-) I'll put out the guidelines as soon as the wrap up for LP10 is finished. Pa suspense ka muna :-D
Oh my! Please can you email me a slice? Where am i going to find this box? I want. I want. I want! [like a kid! lol]
JMom, you are torturing me.
Hi mae! The sweet rice flour is available in most oriental markets. Try looking in yours, it may not be the same brand but it should work. I just like this brand the best. These are actually just called mochico now, not even bibinka anymore. I put a link to their site on the Mochico on the ingredients list.
Yum...love it.
Have posted link from my blog so my homesick relatives can make it at home.
copied, pasted. must try...thank you JMom, i feel like i'm missing something big, for not ever having this before. thank you for posting!
Hi JMom,
OMG. I've never ever thought about using mochiko for baking cakes, but yeah, it must be good! Sour cream and coconut milk. Mmm... sounds like something I should try. Can you tell me how much mochiko is contained in one box?
mmmm...sarap, I can almost smell it cooking :)
Hey Jmom, thank you for participating in the blogging event. My early childhood days was also spent in Baguio and it is always a second home for me. I'm not much with cakes but bibingka I do love most specially those prepared during the holiday season with queso de bola and red egg.
CIAO!
thank you so much for this recipe! i used it and the cake came out PERFECTLY. i credited your recipe on my food blog.
Hi JMom, I linked to you from Obachan, from Christine (cristine.net). I, too, have fond memories of bibingka. That mochiko box really brought me back. Thank you/Salamat!
