Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider using Arborio rice instead of regular cooked rice. You can also substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor. If you want a sweeter cake, increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups. Don't forget to beat the eggs until foamy for a light and airy pudding cake.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Rice Pudding Cake warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Wanda'S Vanilla Ice Cream for a delightful dessert combo. You can also enjoy it with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until warmed through. You can also warm it up in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
