Bibinka is essentially a savoury cake made with grated coconut. It's baked in banana leaves and finished with a topping off sliced salted duck egg and melted cheese and is typically served with rice.
Combine rice flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl then whisk to combine. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly to combine after each addition.
Gradually add the rice flour, salt, and baking powder mixture then continue mixing. Pour-in coconut milk and fresh milk then whisk for a further 1 to 2 minutes to obtain a smooth batter.
Line a cake tin with the pre-cut banana leaves then pour in the cake batter. Transfer to the centre of your pre-heated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven then top with sliced salted egg and grated cheese (do not turn the oven off).
Return to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the colour of the top turns a medium brown and the cheese is bubbling.
