Rice Cake with Coconut, or Puto Bumbong GF, is a soft and chewy Filipino rice cake with a warm, slightly sticky texture and gently sweet flavor. It is traditionally enjoyed during the holiday season, often served hot with butter, grated coconut, and sugar for a cozy and festive treat.
This dish is made with glutinous rice, which is naturally gluten-free when prepared without wheat-based additives or cross-contact. It is simple, comforting, and full of Filipino flavor, because apparently rice cakes in the Philippines needed their own holiday-level spotlight.
Why you’ll love it:

Naturally gluten-free when prepared carefully

Perfect for snacks, dessert, or holiday treats
