Bebinca

 ( Coconut Cakes ) 

Bebinca or bebinka, (; bibik) is a layer cake of Indo-Portuguese cuisine in former Estado da Índia Portuguesa, Goa. In traditional baking, a bebinca has between 7 and 16 layers, but bakeries can modify the cake as per convenience and taste.

It is especially popular during the Christmas season, but is available all year round due to tourism in Goa.

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 Ocean by Macao which in Macanese Patois means "pudding" or "cake" in general.
