This is my own invention. You need some boiled rice, maybe two cups. You have to understand, I don't use measurements. It depends on how much I have. OK. Rice. Then some grated carrot, maybe one cup. Stew it a bit. Then fromage blanc, which is called kohupiim in Estonia and is a staple. About 4 eggs, if big. 5 if not. Sugar, lots of it. The dough has to be really sweet because the rice will suck it all up. Then we need semolina, less than half a cup and flour. More than half a cup. Half a teaspoon of soda and some salt. Several good squirts of lemon juice. Dried apricots, cut into small pieces. Mix well, it has to have the thickness of thick pancake dough. Coat an oven pan with oil, lots of it, and pour the dough in. The oven has to be at 180 degrees. About an hour will do it, or maybe a little more. It has to be nice and golden and springy to the touch, soft but springy!
This ended a pleasant day, when we were visiting war graves. And the "Garden of Memories". Heh. He freaked out but not too much.
Cooked some dinner, well basically just bangers. And the cake of which only half remains. And beer. We are out now. Quoting Onslow: I am sitting here completely surrounded by no beer.
It has been a comforting and comfortable two days. 
Thanks for the recipe. I don't think I've ever used rice in a cake. Haven't you got shops that stay open late at night?
ReplyDeleteNo, no shops like that! Shopkeepers have a life as well :) I like baking, so I don't mind. Rice in a cake is a good idea. Try it, you'll like it!
