Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). If using banana leaves, quickly pass them over a flame to soften, then use them to line a lightly greased 9-inch round or square baking pan. Trim excess leaf edges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, evaporated milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle grated coconut on top for extra flavor and texture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the bibingka is set in the center and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for a few seconds to restore chewiness.
