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.

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

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.
