Place the rice, milk and half
the sugar in a saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer

Simmer, uncovered, for about
25 mins until the rice is tender. Leave to cool for about
1 hr, then stir in the lemon zest and juice.

Preheat the oven to 180C/Fan
160C Gas 4. Butter and line the base of a 23cm spring
release tin and dust the sides with semolina.
-
In a large bowl, whisk the
eggs and remaining caster sugar together with a hand-held
electric whisk until thick and mousse-like. Gently fold in
the rice mixture.
-
Transfer mixture to the
prepared tin and cook in the centre of the oven for about
45 mins until the cake is set and golden.
-
When cooked, cool the cake in
the tin, then serve either just warm or leave to go cold
and serve, heavily dusted with icing sugar and sprinkled
with lemon zest
