2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of sugar
2 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
1 teaspoon of orange peel powder (if using fresh orange peel, add it to the rice mixture)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons of port wine
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. In a blender combine brown rice, low-fat milk, sweetened condensed milk and oil. Puree until smooth. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and orange peel powder.
