Ingredients for rock cakes are plain flour, baking powder, mixed spice, salt, sugar, butter, sultanas, egg and milk. We make our rock cakes with plain flour, salt and baking powder to give a little rise to them.
Sprinkle with demerara sugar, if using. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and well risen. The rock cakes should be firm to the touch. Enjoy! Dried cranberries make a good addition, as do a few chopped nuts, a teaspoon of honey, or some chocolate chips.
Inside the crispy sugary shell of British rock cakes is a marvellous crumbly texture with an even scattering of your chosen dried fruit. These simple English cakes make a great addition to an afternoon tea stand. Perfect kids snack for their lunch box or school fete.
Get the oven on and line a baking tray with a sheet of baking parchment or a non stick baking mat. Add the flour, salt, sugar, and spices into a large bowl. Give it a little mix. Using your finger tips, rub in the butter until you have fine breadcrumbs. Add the raisins, sultanas and candied peel.
