Plum Gateau de Riz
Ingredients
1 cup short grain rice
1 cup water
1 can coconut milk (14oz)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
6 large eggs
2 plums sliced thin
Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F and position a rack in the middle. Butter and flour four 6"x3 1/2" loaf pans. In a large saucepan, bring the rice, one cup water, cinnamon, and half the coconut milk to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover and let cook until all the liquid has been absorbed (about 20 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, mix together the remaining coconut milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and the eggs until well blended. Add the rice and mix until everything is well incorporated. Pour the batter evenly between prepared pans. Arrange plum slices on the cake. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Dust generously with powdered sugar when cooled.
