Polish Rice Cake

Prep Time:  1 hour

Cook Time:  1 hour

Serves:  24

2  Cups  Long Grain White Rice, uncooked

6  Cups  Skim Milk

1  teaspoon  Salt

1  Cup  Butter

1  8-oz.  Cream Cheese

3  Eggs

1  Cup  Half-and-Half

1  teaspoon  Vanilla Extract

1  Cup  Self-Rising Flour

1/2  Cup  Golden Raisins

Combine the Rice, Milk, and Salt in a saucepan and cook slowly until liquid is absorbed.  Stir frequently.

Preheat oven to 175*C (350*).  Grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the Butter and Cream Cheese.  Cream well with wooden spoon.

In another bowl combine Eggs, Half-and-Half, and Vanilla.  Add to creamed mixture and blend well.

Stir in the cooled Rice mixture and mix well.  Add the Self-Rising Flour and blend well.  Stir in the Golden Raisins.

Pour batter into the prepared pan, pat top to avoid any air bubbles.  Bake at 175*C (350*) for one hour.  Let cake stand for one hour before turning out of pan.

And a note from me:  This is good.  I think next time I will either add some Cinnamon to the batter, or serve the cake with a good spoon-full of tart Berry or Cherry jam.
