How to Make Rice Cake Torta Di Riso

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Butter a 10-inch springform pan.
  3. Sprinkle the pan with 2 tablespoons of fine unflavored breadcrumbs, tapping out the excess.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, ½ cup granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  6. Stir in 1 ½ cups Arborio rice and reduce the heat to low.
  7. Simmer uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  9. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs until light and foamy.
  10. Gently fold in the cooled rice mixture, ½ cup slivered almonds, ¼ cup finely chopped candied citron, and ¼ cup rum.
  11. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  12. Pour the rice mixture into the prepared springform pan and level the top with a spatula.
  13. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Remove from oven and pierce the top of the cake with a fork. Drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of rum.
  15. Let cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform.
  16. Decorate with whipped cream (optional) and serve.
