Pininat is a type of a Filipino rice cake prepared with glutinous rice flour, coconut milk and macapuno strings

Pininat is a type of bibingka prepared with glutinous rice flour, coconut milk and macapuno strings, a popular rice cake from Pangasinan. Pininat’s name came from the word “pinat” which means to stretch. Stretchy? Yes hence the name, but to describe its texture in detail this is gooey and chewy like most rice cakes. It’s one of the simplest rice cakes to make, almost similar to cassava cake but instead of cassava, glutinous rice flour is used.

    Oh? Filipinos call it bibingka? We call it bingka (Malay) here. I love the good ones. Sigh!!! Can’t go out to buy right now – we’re under a partial lockdown.

  3. Forget about soft fluffy cakes- I like these moist gooey ones!

    Yeah that truly looks like my type of dessert, yum! I hope you are safe and well!

  5. It reminds the Filipino cassava and coconut cake that my friend Rhoda prepared here — although this one is made with rice flour. I bet it is quite delish!
