Pulut Hitam Chiffon Cake (Black Glutinous Rice Chiffon Cake) – Delishar

Pulut Hitam is one of my favourite dessert. I love the distinct taste of the sticky black glutinous rice and rich flavour of coconut milk. I lose self-control when it comes to this particular dessert.

When my friend, Sharron, passed me a packet of black glutinous rice flour. I knew I have to make myself some pulut hitam chiffon cake. I love how the flavours played out with this cake as it does taste a lot like pulut hitam. I adapted the recipe from a trusted source, one of the queens of Chiffons: Phay Shing from Loving Creation 4 You. It was pretty simple to make, the baking and cooling time was the longest.

Preheat oven to 160C.

Separate the eggs, add egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl.

Beat until pale yellow, and sugar dissolved.

Add pandan paste, vanilla extract, salt, corn oil, and coconut milk.

Mix until combined.

Sieve in black glutinous rice flour, and mix until no trace of flour found.

In a clean mixing bowl, add cream of tar tar and egg whites.

Beat egg whites until bubbly, and gradually add sugar while beating.

Beat until you get stiff peaks.

Fold in 1/3 of the meringue. I like to use a balloon whisk, but you can use a spatula or your hands.

Fold in the rest of the meringue until combined.

Pour batter slowly into UNGREASED chiffon pan, this helps to minimize large air bubbles.

Drop pan on countertop a few times to get rid of big air bubbles.

Bake until cake springs back, and skewer comes out clean.

Pulut Hitam Ogura (Black Glutinous Rice Sponge Cake) – Delishar

Sometime back I shared a Pulut Hitam Chiffon Cake recipe. As mentioned before Pulut Hitam is one of my favourite dessert. A few weeks ago, I had a chance to dine at a friend’s place and she made pulut hitam. I was over the moon! Just thinking about a hot bowl of sticky black glutinous rice dessert make my mouth water uncontrollably!

After making the chiffon cake, I knew I had to make an Ogura version. I much prefer Ogura to chiffon although they are very similar in terms of method of making and texture. Ogura yields a moister cake due to the steam baking, and tighter crumbs.

This is how it should look like. A tray of warm water on the lowest rack then your metal rack on the 2nd lowest. This is where your cake tin should sit. Preheat the oven while you prepare the batter. When you are done, the tray of water should be almost at boiling point.

What I like about this cake is that it is gluten-free, low in sugar, and free of baking agent. This ogura has a slightly gritty bite to it because it uses glutinous rice flour instead of top flour or cake flour. It is something different and a love every bite of it!

Bubur Pulut Hitam – Delishar

Over the weekend my whole extended family came together for a pot luck lunch at my grandmother’s place. Since it was a pot luck, it means I have to make something to bring over. Almost instantly, my mind stated to savour the smell, taste, and texture of this wonderful dessert! If there is ever a day that I have to choose only one dessert to have for the rest of my life, this will be it. It’s a no brainer.

There are times when I’m walking into the food court, famished and looking for food. And I happen to walk by the dessert store and see them selling this. I’d head straight for the line, and make this my lunch. I’d gladly have this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper, if I could! That said, this is a very well-loved dessert locally. And this dessert have been on my ‘to make’ list for a very long time already. So the pot luck give me a reason to make a big ass pot of sticky gooey black glutinous rice pudding. 

It was a huge hit! Everyone was going in for 2nd and some 3rd servings. The aunties were asking for recipes! The husband was a little apprehensive to try at first, given that he ain’t a huge fan of warm dessert. And being the ang moh, that dark purple almost black looking bowl of goo didn’t appeal to him. But being the mostly adventurous (when it comes to food) guy he is, he asked for a bowl to try. I knew this dessert will buy him over, and it did! How can it not?! 

Making this bubur pulut hitam requires a little more time as you need to soak the black glutinous rice, preferably overnight. You can shorten to soaking time, but that will mean that you will have to cook it longer. During the hour long cooking, I had to stir every 10 minutes to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Almost like cooking risotto, stir stir stir. However, I assure you that the end result is worth all that extra bit of time. 

You will need a big pot for this recipe. I used my 26cm Le Creuset French Oven for 18 servings. Or half the recipe to make a smaller serving. Check out my other pulut hitam recipes: Pulut Hitam Chiffon Cake, Pulut Hitam Ogura Cake.

Pulut Hitam Rice Ball in Coconut Sauce – Delishar

I’m obsessed with Bubur Pulut Hitam, that sticky & gooey warm black glutinous rice porridge that’s sweetened with gula melaka and finished with a slight drizzle of rich fragrant coconut milk. If there is one Asian dessert I can have every single day without having to worry about weight gain, it has to be Pulut Hitam. Just writing this post is getting my mouth all watery, and tummy all rumbly. 

The other thing I like next to bubur pulut hitam is tang yuan or glutinous rice balls. I prefer the plain ones with no filling/stuffing as compared to the ones with it, and I like to have mine with warm and thick almond paste. There’s something about the thick and rich consistency that I really enjoy. So when I chance upon this recipe, I was elated!

Putting the 2 top Asian dessert on my list together as one, and a darn easy one to make too! Although I prefer plain glutinous rice balls more than the ones with filling in it. It keeps ringing in my ear that it’ll be nice to wrap a little piece of gula melaka in it. Maybe next time, I might might just do that, for that ondeh ondeh effect. But for now, I’m really enjoying this lovely dessert.
