Bebinca, also known as bibik or bebinka, is a traditional layer cake of Goa, India derived from Indo-Portuguese cuisine. Traditionally, Bebinka has between 7 and 16 layers, but it can be modified per one's convenience and taste.[1][2] It is especially popular during Christmas, but is available in Goa year round due to tourist demand.[3][4] It is also easily available to carry and preserve for a long time or eaten fresh.
Bebinca was also adopted as a typhoon name in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, contributed by Macau.[5] It is also prepared in Portugal and Mozambique.
Preparation
Preparing bebinca is a slow process.[4] The batter is made with flour, sugar, ghee, egg yolk, and coconut milk.[6][7] The batter is spread thinly onto a grill and the layers are stacked atop one another. Bebinca may be garnished with nutmeg or slivered almonds.[2]
