2 cups water
2 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 (15 ounce) can brown rice, drained
In a large bowl, mix water, rice, vinegar, and salt and garlic powder, oregano, and hot pepper sauce. Let stand for 5 minutes, then stir. Cover, and refrigerate mixture at least 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small electric mixing bowl, combine brown rice with the rice mixture. Pour mixture over rice and sprinkle with basil, oregano, pepper sauce, and basil over rice.
Bake in preheated oven until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow rice to cool completely.
I made this and added 1 cup of sour cream. cut in half the chocolate frosting and still added about 1/4C of peanut butter to my frosting. I also substituted orange extract for 1 cup of sugar and orange zest for 1 teaspoon of almond extract. I thought the frosting was pretty good, but it probably wouldn't change a thing either. If I made it again I would only use 2 cups of flour and make a simple powdered frosting to replace the cool whip, for a total of 6 cups of filling. My gamily likes this cake, and so does my husband... I'm not sure what else to add to 6 cups of filling. This would make a very light frosting, and would still be perfect for a drizzle or small glaze. A nice, light frosting with just a bit of flavor.
