Nuts About Rock Cakes step by step
- Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas 5. Line a baking tray with non stick greaseproof paper..
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add in the sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon and stir thoroughly ensuring that any lumps of sugar are broken up..
- Add the egg and stir. This will bind the ingredients and start to form a stiff mixture. You will need to add 1 tablespoon of milk. You’ll need to judge whether you need to add a second. If it’s too stiff you won’t be able to “fork” it onto the baking sheet so let that be your guide..
- Get a good forkful of the mixture and “plonk” it onto the baking tray, spacing them out. Allow about 3 to 4cm between each one. You should be able to get 12 rock cakes out of this mixture. You don’t need uniformity of shape, a spikey mound is fine. Sprinkle a little demerara sugar on each to give a crunchy topping..
- Bake in the centre of your oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and transfer to wire rack to cool completely..
- These will keep in a cake tin for 2 to 3 days. They won’t last that long!.
Dried cranberries make a good addition, as do a few chopped nuts, a teaspoon of honey. A rock cake, also called a rock bun, is a small cake with a rough surface resembling a rock. They were promoted by the Ministry of Food during the Second World War since they require fewer eggs and less sugar than ordinary cakes, an important savings in a time of strict rationing. Chop nuts using a large chef's knife with a tapered blade. With one hand on the handle and the other on the tip of the knife (watch your fingers!), carefully rock the knife blade across the nuts until they are the right size.
