Bibingka remains one of the world’s best cakes

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 31) — The Christmas staple bibingka is still among the best cakes in the world, according to the latest list of lifestyle website Taste Atlas.

Bibingka is usually sold near churches during Christmastime as people attend dawn masses or Simbang Gabi. It is prepared in clay pots lined with banana leaves. Sometimes it is topped with grated cheese, salted duck eggs or grated coconut.

Russia’s Medovik, a layered honey cake, topped this year’s list.
