Are you ready for the most fascinating cake ever? This Spanish Chocolate Rice Cake is just that. We´re talking no flour, no butter and no oil, yet its got the most incredible flavor & texture. But the best part? It´s super easy to make, made with simple ingredients and perfect for any occasion.
To make this cake I used Spanish Bomba Rice (10% OFF Your Order with Code ¨ONAFORK¨), which is the one that´s used to make paella. You can use other types of rice, but this type of rice is what gives this cake that incredible texture.
I also used low-fat milk, but you can use full fat, non fat or even plant based milk. Either way, when cooking the milk with the rice, make sure to mix every 30 seconds or so, that way the milk doesn´t develop a film on it.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: It took me exactly 25 minutes to bake this cake. But every oven heats differently. So it might take you 5 minutes less or 5 minutes more. Either way, you want a slightly creamy texture in the interior.

04 . Aug . 2023I made this today. I didn’t get chance to add the eggs, and bake it in the oven as it was demolished before I had chance for it to cool. 🤣

This looks delicious! The Nutritian Facts do not specify how may servings there are per cake or what size the servings are. I know these have to be approximate because this is a cake but I have to count carbohydrates very carefully for insulin dosing and would appreciate some sense of this. Thanks much!

The nutrion facts are for 1 slice of cake, they are 8 slices in the cake 🙂 Much love

I’d like to try this but I only have basmati rice on hand. Do you think this will do the job or should I purchase some round rice?
