Rock Cakes Recipe

[@hotpepper7782]

These were the first things we made in secondary schools in home economics. Those were the days, it was the best.

[@connellsmith]

Yes mate! That’s what’s brought me here!

[@anti-victimGenX]

Australian..?

[@shermainm3491]

I made these rock cakes and it came out great. I used 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a splash of vanilla extract. Everyone loved them. Thanks for sharing.

[@irenedavo3768]

Wow!

[@Brewermb]

Hi, these were the first things we made in cookery class at school, I will make them again now.

[@darshineesanhye6154]

+Brewermb yaa my sister too made that in cookery class {the first thing was that }

[@shermainm3491]

I have made these rock cakes many times, and it comes out beautiful each time. I added a 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a splash of Vanilla extract. Thanks for sharing.

[@alanadaniel9907]

[@vijikrish4353]

I too learned to make rock cakes in my cookery class in Singapore...my first experience in baking when I was 13 years old.Appears like it's an International experience!😍

[@keemo6368]

[@nosaoyemade9618]

I learned to make these delicious rock buns(cakes) when I was in high school almost sixty years ago and still make them.

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Thanks for making the recipe so clear and easy to follow. Made these today, they are delicious. I reduced the amount of sugar as my partner is diabetic turned out great.

[@lucymacbride8287]

Update. I made these again today. I omitted the fruit and reduced the sugar content by adding some desicated coconut and tsp of vanilla extract turned out good and tasted lovely.

[@rk2258]

Really helpful video . I made my first rock cake by following the instructions , the first time was good but the second time was better ! Thank you

[@Lee5338633]

Thanks for sharing. Will try this.

[@lenneychristopher]

Thank you so much, my darling, ShakespearesChin. My dear ol dad, used to make them for us kids, when we were just wee ones. For he himself was a Brit, as well. And, also was a bloody good one at that, too!!!! : )

[@ShakespearesChin]

+Christopher Lenney You're most welcome, hope making them bring back happy memories :) All the best.

[@joyasengupta5274]

Perfect and easy instructions!

[@aquilawallace7521]

Thks for sharing .

[@MrJimtimslim]

Ima try this!!!

[@andreapalmer6273]

could we get this in cups tbsp and tsp

[@asseyez-vous6492]

There are no destructions in the info box btw. No matter though 😊 I double this recipe; half I make plain, then, while the plain ones are baking, I cut up ready to eat figs and add those instead... my partner loves these but hates dried fruit of any kind, so half are for him and the fig ones are for me. (They're nice with glacé cherries too) 😀

[@dinkohrvat344]

could you use whole meal flour ? I want to add cinnamon and orange zest to spice them up a bit .They are delicious with cream and or butter

[@jaysonenfeld2321]

Love the daughter commentary 😂👍

[@stevenholt5692]

Cakes rock. I remember making these at school.

[@joasante1672]

Excellent go to video as it’s straight to the point!

[@valerieacampbell1451]

Ah, lovely speaking voice and bet kids cant wait to enjoy! Love their involvement. Remind me of home economics. aka 'baking' lol

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Exactly my thoughts, this is what baking is about bonding time with family. I used to bake with my gran and I miss her terribly.

[@josephineagyekum8791]

Pls do I have to add baking powder?

[@ShakespearesChin]

You need baking powder to help them rise x

[@dorothycalthorpe4007]

My Mum used to make the yummiest rock cakes so miss them I 'll have a go of making some myself 😋

[@ShakespearesChin]

Excellent.. Let me know how you get on x

[@RichBluebutterfly]

I made these and it came out awesome thanks. Btw your baby sounds adorable :)

[@ShakespearesChin]

That's lovely to hear thank you x

[@RichBluebutterfly]

ShakespearesChin you should try adding shredded coconuts and chopped almonds.

[@ShakespearesChin]

Those aren't traditionally used in scones but yes...I think that would be really delicious! :)

[@71bgb]

Lovely stuff. Although in a fan assisted oven the temp(200) is too high. Around 180 for between 15 and 20mins is good. They are delicious though. Thanks!!!

[@idaaman7489]

lovely ,thanks 😊

[@cynthiashitta7104]

Yummy thanks,

[@ethelnewberry151]

I'm wondering why you use a fork to do the mixing. Is that a British thing? I've never seen this done on any cooking show. They do look great, and are pretty fast to make. I think I'll put some nuts and vanilla, and maybe a shake of cinnamon in, too. Thank you so much. By the way, you are doing a great job by letting the little one have such such wonderful memories of actually getting right in there and helping to mix the cakes. He will certainly remember these day's well into his old age. From USA., 4/25/19

[@ShakespearesChin]

Thank you so much for your message. I tend to do things all my own way so using a fork is more a Paula thing ha ha. I don't like getting mixture under my nails and using a fork to push and scrape ingredients together works well for me. Quick, one fork to wash up afterwards. In a non dishwashing machine house these things are important 😉

[@lisaspokes2601]

love the recipe reminds me of the old with my grandad in the kitchen learning to cook thanks hun

[@ShakespearesChin]

That's wonderful ❤️ Its lovely how different foods and smells remind us of times and loved ones x

[@vikkipie]

Followed your cute recipe and they are in the oven now. Thank you 😊

[@ShakespearesChin]

Most welcome.. Hope you enjoy x

[@samaziz1433]

I remember making this at school with Mrs Davis 😭

[@sandragriffiths9692]

I used to make them with choc chips and a little cocoa powder, yummy!😁

[@luckydesilva6733]

You are a lovely mum.

[@ShakespearesChin]

Aww thank you x

[@nomalungelothobisilendlela1812]

[@barbararichards8403]

Rock cakes. One quick question were is the coconut? Rocks cake s need to have in coconut in it and nugget and vanilla as well.

[@zeebeeboo]

[@fionapearson8572]

Just spotted the recipe - looks lovely and will try but had to go back through the video for the flour - it’s missing from the written recipe!

[@SHADOWNINE79]

Just made myself some, thank you for the step by step instruction 👍🏾

[@ShakespearesChin]

You're most welcome x

[@Jasmine-wc2ef]

We did it differently in cooking

[@eur2030]

keeping the flour in fridge helps to raise higher

[@zaneshepherd5245]

[@njabimaxceline3317]

Well done

[@shivanieseepersaud6461]

I want to know what to garnish this with

[@ShakespearesChin]

You just eat them like that. A sliced strawberry on side of plate will make presentation prettier

[@kevinwoolner954]

I use raisins and cherrys in mine

[@joycebelsham3033]

A thank you am now going to try this recipe

[@kadenite3317]

OMG!!! looks great

[@brianjavea]

Watching 2020 what is gas mark 6 in elec oven

[@hildaoak5872]

Very simple. Tnx

[@georgejackson3249]

Thanks, that was so very simple.

[@RacinRitchieyt]

why is it mine, done the same way, always go flat like biscuits,what am i doing wrong?

[@ShakespearesChin]

blunderbuggy2 Hi there, make sure you pre-heat your oven.. it needs to be to temperature when you put your cakes in. Hope that helps x

[@clairezephrine5020]

Blunderbudggy2, the flour was forgotten when she wrote the recipe. Must add flour!

[@jennysimon8485]

Did you use plain flour or self raising flour. If you used plain flour with no added baking powder then it would turn out flat.

[@PurplePinklala]

Yummy...Looks simple..will try this :)

[@bayyonet]

WOW i miss my nan she made the best rock cakes.

[@shasyaryna1890]

what's has marked 6? any temperature

[@chrissy212e]

Super easy but i will add cinnamon to mine.Cheers

[@ajrwilde14]

aren't they supposed to be with currants not raisins

[@paulwhitaker2816]

You forgot to add the flour in the recipe list . ..... Made the cakes tho and they were lovely ... also you look like you used a lot more sultanas than 50 grm THANKS AGAIN
