Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch circular baking pan or line it with banana leaves for authenticity. If using banana leaves, soften them first by passing over a flame or dipping in hot water to make them pliable.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, melted butter, and eggs. Make sure the wet ingredients are well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing out the surface with a spatula. If desired, top with grated cheese and/or slices of salted duck egg for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your bibingka with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect experience!
