Today I prepared the recipe for a regional delight, the Carrarina rice cake!
I love the rice cake; I find it a unique dessert, creamy yet firm, sweet but not too much, often containing small candied fruits, amaretti, and a bit of liqueur. In short, many ingredients make it very good for me. In Bologna, my adopted city, the rice cake (or decoration cake) 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 over the cake right 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 prepared a recipe typical of another region, in fact, the typical recipe of the city of Massa-Carrara. It is a very pleasant and creamy dessert, so follow along as we prepare the Carrarina rice cake!

What variety of rice to use?
To prepare the Carrarina 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.
