Banana-leaf-wrapped millet cakes enriched with freshly extracted coconut milk.
About Cebu Budbod Kabog
Budbud kabog is a Cebu millet cake wrapped in banana leaves. Market Manila records the recipe taught by Manang Lima, a Mandaue vendor who had prepared the delicacy for more than thirty years.
Millet absorbs freshly extracted coconut milk, while sugar supplies sweetness. The banana-leaf wrapper contributes its own aroma to the finished cakes.
The cakes form tight, elongated parcels with a rich, cohesive filling. They are served cool, with the wrapper opened to reveal the cooked millet.
