    Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake is made with Bibingka mix, apple juice, preserved apples and topped with cinnamon flavored polvoron. To finish it's drizzled with some coco jam. It's fall in a bite.

    So I have been thinking about this cake for sometime like all recipes on here. I mean isn't everyone searching for a Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake?? Haha. Well you are here aren't you?

    You don't need to keep making the same kind of Bibingka with that mix you keep on buying. You can add other flavors but still make it super Pinoy.

    Case in point with this recipe. I use the mix, but add apples and cinnamon. However I top it with crushed Polvoron AND drizzle coco jam on top.

    The result is a super moist Apple cake that leans more towards being a pudding like the texture of an English Sticky Date Pudding.

    Ingredients

    Bibingka Mix - I use the White King brand, as it's the only one I see at my local Filipino grocery store. It comes with 2 packets. You will just use the one packet for this recipe.

    Apple Preserves - My friend made me a jar of Moraba Ye Seeb (Persian Apple Preserves) and I used a cup of that. However you can simply dice some fresh Granny Smith apples and toss them in a tablespoon of lemon and use that instead. Or you are more than welcome to make Homa's recipe.

    Eggs - You will need 2 eggs at room temperature.

    Melted Butter - 8 tablespoons melted but cooled.

    Milk - You can use any kind of milk here, measure out ¼ cup.

    Apple Juice - To kick up that apple flavor we are going to use ¾ cup of apple juice.

    Coco Jam - We are going to use the jam two ways here. First we are going to mix in ½ cup of coco jam into the batter and then we are going to use it to drizzle on top after baking.

    Cinnamon - To add some flavor and warmth to the Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake.

    Box of bibingka mix, 2 polvoron on a plate, 2 eggs, cup of milk, bottle of apple preserves, bowl of melted butter, packet of apple juice, jar or cinnamon and jar of coco jam.

    How To Make Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake

    Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake ingredients in a bowl.

    In a large bowl add in the apples, eggs, melted butter, apple juice, coco jam, and cinnamon.

    Wet ingredients all mixed.

    Mix well until everything is combined.

    Adding the flour.

    Add in the packet of Bibingka Mix.

    Flour mixed in.

    Again mix well until there are no lumps.

    Lined and greased 8x8 cake pan.

    Spray and line a 8x8 square cake pan.

    Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake batter poured into prepared cake pan.

    Pour the batter in. Then bake at 350F for 25 minutes.

    Polvoron and cinnamon in a bowl

    While the Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake is baking make the Polvoron topping. Crush the polvoron not to fine making sure there are a few chunks in there. Then add in the cinnamon.

    Mixed polvoron and cinnamon with a spoon.

    Mix lightly with a spoon.

    Half baked Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake

    Take the Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake out of the oven. The middle will still be raw, but we need a solid base to put the crumble on top so that it doesn't sink in.

    Adding cinnamon polvoron crumble on top.

    Spread the cinnamon flavored Polvoron crumble on top making sure you go all the way to the edges. Put it back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

    Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake just baked.

    Take out of the oven.

    Drizzling on coco jam.

    Then while it is still warm drizzle 2 tablespoons of coco jam on the top.

    Cooling in tin.

    It will naturally spread while it is still super hot, but you can use a toothpick to weave it all over the top and around the crumble.

    Leave the cake in the tin to cool completely, ideally until the next day.

    How to Serve Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake

    The next day when the Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake is completely cool cut into 18 small rectangles. Transfer it to a serving tray.

    Sliced Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake on a wooden serving board.

    If you have any leftover you can individually wrap them and freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost just leave on the counter until the Bibingka Apple Pudding Cakes are at room temperature.

    Two slices of Bibingka Apple Pudding Cake on a glass plate.

    These would go so well with a glass of hot or cold Salabat!
