Rice Cake

Rinse the rice well and cook it in boiling water for about 5 minutes, then drain it in a strainer or colander

Melt the butter or margarine with the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until golden brown

Add the cooked rice, boiling water, and orange and lemon juices

Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook

Just before the cooking time is up, add the rum

Grease a mold or pan and layer it with rice and rosewater jelly

Beat the egg whites until frothy, then gradually add sugar, beating continuously until stiff peaks form

Cover the cake and place in a warm oven until the crust browns.
