Colourful Bebinca/Bebik recipe

• In a vessel/bowl, mix the sugar powder and eggs
  
• Beat them with a hand beater till all the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a bit fluffy - Mixture A 
  
• In another bowl add the all purpose flour - maida, cardamom powder and nutmeg powder to the coconut milk and mix well with a hand beater so that no lumps are formed - Mixture B 
  
• Mix both the mixtures(Mixture A & Mixture B) together & Stir it well (We call this Mixture C)
  
• Strain this entire mixture(Mixture C) in another big vessel and keep aside
  
• In a small vessel, add the 30gms full sugar and place it on medium high heat to prepare the caramel
  
• Once the caramel turns dark brown, turn the gas off and add about 1/4cup water to it and let it cool(while adding the water, it may splutter, just be careful)
  
• Add half of the bebinca mix(Mixture C) to the caramel mix and stir it well. It will turn Dark Brown (We call this dark brown mixture, Mixture D)
  
• So now u have 2 mixtures, i.e dark brown(Mixture D) and light brown(Mixture C)
  
• If you like, You can add colors of your choice to the light colored mix(Mixture C) by first placing the mix in different/separate bowls and then adding the colors of your choice individually to them(Optional)
  
• Now turn on your oven and pre heat it for 10 minutes at 200^c 
  
• In a baking container, add 1 tbspn ghee and once the oven has heated up, place the container inside for about 2-3 minutes until all the ghee melts and covers the entire bottom of the container.
  
• Add the 1st layer(dark mix, Mixture D) using 1 ladle full of the mixture(if your container is wider, add 2 ladles)
  
• Place it in the oven and let it cook for about 15 minutes
  
• Remove the container from the oven, brush some ghee on the cooked layer with a silicon brush and add 1 ladle(or 2 ladles if using a wider container) of the 2nd layer(light or colored mix Mixture C). Place the container in the oven and let it bake for 20 minutes(*Here i followed a technique that I recently learned, of keeping the oven door slightly open while baking, so that the end results are superb. It gives an amazing glaze on to the bebinca)
  
• Similarly, You have to bake alternate layers 
  
• Follow the same procedure for each layer until all your mixture is over
  
• Once done, keep it out to cool naturally. cut them into vertical slices and serve.
  
• Some like it Hot while the others like it Cold! Either way, it tastes delicious! 
  

  Enjoy:)
