Bebincaorbebinka, (Konkani; bibik) is a layer cakeofIndo-Portuguese cuisine in former Estado da Índia Portuguesa Goa, India. In traditional baking, a bebinca has between 7 and 16 layers, but bakeries can modify the cake recipe as per convenience and taste.[1][2] It is especially popular during the Christmas season, but is available all year round due to tourism in Goa.[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 OceanbyMacao.[5]
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]
