'Beras Pulut Hitam' Chiffon Cake

Came across the Black Glutinous Rice Chiffon Cake quite often and was wondering where to get this type of rice. Finally, I decided to give it a try by  grinding the black glutinous rice to bake the cake. The cake turn out very well [soft, fluffy and tasty].

How to grind the black glutinous rice?  I measured 45 gm of black glutinous rice [in Malaysia, black glutinous rice is called Beras Pulut Hitam].  Grind it using the small grinder till fine.  Then sift it and grind again the coarser grain a few more times until you get the quantity needed.  Discard the coarser grains.  I suggest that you grind more and store it for later use.
