Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F, ensuring the cooking environment is precisely calibrated for optimal cake performance.
- Prepare a rectangular baking vessel by lightly coating its interior with a thin protective layer of grease to prevent potential sticking.

- Whisk the ensemble until achieving a silken, homogeneous texture without any lingering dry pockets or unmixed components.
- Transfer the luxurious batter into the prepared receptacle, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Generously dust the top with a delicate layer of caramel-toned sugar and additional granulated sweetener for a tantalizingly crisp exterior.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven, allowing the cake to metamorphose for approximately one hour until it develops a golden, firm complexion.
- Extract the bibingka from the oven and permit it to cool completely, allowing the internal structure to stabilize before slicing into elegant squares.
- Present this traditional Filipino delicacy, celebrating its rich, tropical essence and inviting texture.
