Iraqi rice cake recipe in English
Last Updated on
Iraqi rice cakes are a delicious and traditional dessert, perfect for any occasion! Here is a recipe for an Iraqi rice cake in English, so you can easily make this delicious treat at home.
The ingredients you will need are: 1 cup of long-grain rice, 2 cups of water, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 cup of currants or raisins, and 1/4 cup of chopped nuts.
To make the cake, first rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This step is important in order to remove any excess starch from the rice, which can make the cake tough.
Next, combine the rice, water, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a medium saucepan and stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the currants or raisins and nuts and stir well. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Serve the cake warm or cold, with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top
