 Directions

Step 1
Grease a 6cm-deep, 20cm round (base) springform pan. Line base and side with 2 layers of baking paper.

Meanwhile, place rum and sultanas in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil. Remove from heat. Set aside. Preheat oven to 170C/150C fan-forced.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Stir egg yolks and sultana mixture into cooled rice mixture. Fold in egg whites.
Step 5
Pour rice mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of cake comes out clean. Cool in pan. Serve warm or cold, dusted with icing sugar.
