Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups milk
1 vanilla bean
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
1 cup white sugar
3 strips lemon peel
5 eggs, separated
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger orange liqueur
¼ cup raisins
1 orange, zested
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring milk to a simmer in a saucepan; add vanilla bean and stir. Mix rice and white sugar into simmering milk; add lemon peel. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring constantly, until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer saucepan to the refrigerator and chill, at least 30 minutes.
  • Whisk egg yolks and orange liqueur together in a bowl. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy. Continue to beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
  • Remove vanilla bean and lemon peel from rice. Stir raisins and orange zest into rice; add egg yolk mixture and stir. Softly fold egg whites into rice mixture. Slowly pour rice mixture into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar over rice cake.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by half.

I'm not a big fan of orange-flavored desserts, but I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. The orange flavor is not overpowering, and the cake is very moist and fluffy. I would definitely make this cake again.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before I needed it, and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together, and the cake was even more moist.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. It's still tasty, but it's a bit more dense than I would like. I might try adding a little more baking powder next time.

This cake is a bit more dense than I expected, but it's still very good. The orange flavor is subtle, and the cake is not too sweet. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
