1. Always use fresh coconut milk
Making bebinca at home requires loads of coconut milks while whipping up its batter. You must always use fresh coconut milk if you desire to have the perfect bakery-style softness and deliciousness of your homemade bebinca.
2. Beat the egg yolks nicely
You can either beat the egg yolk one by one or together at once. Just make sure that you beat it well until there are no lumps and the texture seems thick. Also, beat the mixture of eggs once again before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
3. Remember to bake each layer one by one
If you are someone who is making bebinca for the first time, remember that every layer is separately baked for a few minutes. Baking each layer individually helps the layers form perfectly over each other. Always avoid over baking any layer and pour the batter gently every time.
4. Grease each layer before pouring down another one
Greasing each layer is just as important as greasing the dish. Grease all the layers and dish with either ghee or oil as per your choice. Greasing helps in avoiding the layers stick to each other and also makes your cake buttery from inside.
