Today I prepared the recipe for a regional delight, the Carrara rice cake!
I like the rice cake; I find it a unique dessert, creamy yet firm, sweet but not too much, which often has small candied fruits, amaretti, a bit of liquor inside; in short, many ingredients that make it very good for me. In Bologna, my adopted city, the rice cake (or cake of decorations) is a famous recipe, found in every good bakery and pastry shop, and I know many versions, all delicious with candied fruits, almonds, amaretti, rum, or alchermes, often brushed on top of the cake just out of the oven! On the blog, you will find other versions of rice cake, some closer to tradition and others more eccentric.
Today I made one from another region, actually the typical recipe of the city of Massa-Carrara, and it is a very pleasant and very creamy dessert, but follow me as we prepare the Carrara rice cake!

What variety of rice to use?
To prepare the Carrara rice cake, Originario rice is generally used, but other varieties like Arborio, Roma, Vialone Nano, or Baldo also give excellent results: only creaminess and final texture change.
