rock cakes
One of my mum's recipes I grew up with. These were devoured by the family when made. They don't keep well more than a couple of days but this was never a problem for us as they went the same day. These cakes are not made a lot now but were definitely very well known 30-40 years ago. In the good old days before coronavirus I used to take them into work for my colleagues and again they went really quickly.

How To Make rock cakes
-
1Put the oven on to 200C.
-
2Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl except the demerara sugar. I leave the milk until last. -
3Beat the mix until sticky and stiff.
-
4Spoon out the mix onto a greased baking tray (or I use baking parchment) and sprinkle on the demerara sugar (30g is probably more than needed). Depending on how large you like the cakes, you should have between 10-12 cakes.
-
5Bake at 200C for between 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the cakes. The tops should be golden brown. Cool on a rack. Beause there is a lot of loose sugar I leave them on the baking parchment.
