These cakes bring back so delicous memories of my childhood. Easy, tasty, and totally moreish. Give a liberal sprinkling of caster sugar for the perfect finish before baking.
This recipe is so easy most houshold have the ingredintds in there cupord. I didn’t hve any raisins so i used hot chocolate drinking powder. It was nice and chocolatey.

Just like someone here said it is a little dry.
I tried making it but it was too dry to roll into a dough so I addedd about half a small cup of milk and I am baking it yum and I don’t like sultanas that much so I added cooking chocolate chips and sunflower seeds instead! It smells very nice!!!
i am going to try them
yum
Lovely… Very different to school ones!!
Just made the rock cakes and absolutely delish. Just make them and you will see…yum!
lovely rock cakes but… raisins a bit crispy
can you use white sugar instead off brown as i live
in turkey and can not get brown sugar
Very delicious.
Also… if you are not allergic to nuts reduce the sugar by 25g and use 25g of ground almonds instead….still delicious.
