Bánh da lợn (lit. 'lumpy skin cake') [a][1] is a Vietnamese steamed layer cake, mostly popular in South Vietnam, made from tapioca starch, rice flour,[2] mashed mung beans, taro, or durian, coconut milk and/or water, and sugar. It is sweet and gelatinously soft in texture, with thin (approximately 1 cm) colored layers alternating with layers of mung bean, durian, or taro filling. A similar type of cake in North Vietnam is bánh chín tầng mây (lit. 'nine-layer cloud cake').

Typical versions of bánh da lợn may feature the following ingredients:
- Pandan leaf (for green color) with mung bean paste filling
- Pandan leaf (for green color) with durian filling
- Lá cẩm (leaf of the magenta plant, Dicliptera tinctoria; imparts a purple color when boiled) with mashed taro filling
In modern cooking, artificial food coloring is sometimes used in place of the vegetable coloring.
Kuih lapis, which is made in Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as the Thai khanom chan, are similar to bánh da lợn. In the Philippines, a similar dessert and variant of kutsinta is simply called Vietnamese kutsinta and the Khmer of Cambodia call it num chak chan (នំចាក់ចាន់).
