Black Beauty Cake

You will never imagine that this Beauty is made with black glutinous rice flour. I did not know that glutinous rice flour can be used for cakes. i was quite scheptical that the cake will turn out chewy and sticky like Nin Koh but it was quite the contrary, the cake was soft , moist, fragrant and had the most unusual color. It was not black but a purplelish grey which can throw you off at first sight but the taste was fantastic.

Ingredients:

350 gm Black Glutinous Flour

5 large eggs

300 gm fine granulated sugar

150 ml vegetable oil

200 ml coconut cream

1/2 tsp ovalette

Method:

Whisk eggs, sugar and ovalette together until fluffy and white.

Add black glutinous flour, vegetable oil and coconut milk, continue to whisk until ribbon stage.

Pour into a bottom lined 9 inch greased cake pan and put to steam on high heat for 45 minutes or until done.(i used 2 loaf pans)

Remove from steamer and after 5 minutes, remove cake from pan and let it cool before serving.
