Bake Along #16 - Black Glutinous Rice Flour Steamed Brownies

I've eaten this brownies which is very popular in Indonesia, it was quite sometime back and was hooked by the taste and texture
I managed to find the flour in Indonesia, it's easily found in any baking shops anywhere. It's possible to make the flour but it's too troublesome to me
Finally I could make this yummy brownies :)

Original recipe uses chocolate rice as filling, I used shaved dark chocolate and grated cheddar cheese, yum!

Chocolate and cheese.. perfect combination I can never live without :)

Recipe is from Ricke's site

What you need:

6 eggs

200g sugar

1 tsp ovalette (optional)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp sweet condensed milk

250g black glutinous rice flour

20g cocoa powder

100g chopped dark chocolate

200g canola oil (or melted butter)

Filling:

enough shaved dark chocolate (or chocolate rice)

enough grated cheddar cheese

1. Heat up steamer, wrap the cover with clean cloth. Sieve black glutinous rice flour and cocoa powder together, set aside. Grease pan, line with baking paper and grease on top. I used 2 pans of rectangle brownies pans sized approximately 20 x 10 x 4cm
2. Melt chopped chocolate together with oil, mix well and let cool
3. Beat eggs, sugar, ovalette and salt on high speed til ribbon stage. Lower speed, add in vanilla, mix well, followed by condensed milk, mix well
4. Add in sifted flour gradually on low speed til well mixed (not so long, around 1 minute)
5. Add in 1/3 of the batter into the chocolate and oil mixture, fold in til evenly mixed and then pour to the remaining batter, fold in gently
6. Divide the batter into two, pour one portion to the pan, steam on medium fire for 10 minutes, sprinkle chocolate and cheese on top, followed by pouring the remaining one portion of the batter, let continue steaming for 25 minutes
7. Remove from steamer and take out from the pan immediately, let cool on the cooling rack

This brownies is considered fudgy type, even though it's not as rich as those baked fudgy brownies

Taste chocolaty, and even though the batter feels sandy cos of the type of flour used, but the brownies doesn't have any sandy texture at all

Soft, and easy to eat, really addictive.. I definitely will make this again :)

And it's good to know that oil is used instead of butter, and the flour is definitely much healthier than just normal plain flour
