HOW TO MAKE ROCK CAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
• Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and rub in the cubed butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then mix in the dried fruit.
• In a clean bowl, beat the egg and milk together with the vanilla extract.
• Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until the mixture just comes together as a thick, lumpy dough. Add a teaspoon more milk if you need it to make the mixture stick together.
• Place golfball-sized spoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Leave space between them as they will flatten and spread out to double their size during baking.
• Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden-brown. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Set oven to 210 C / gas mark 7. Grease a baking tray
• Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl
• Cut the margarine into cubes and then rub into the flour using your fingertips. The mixture should then resemble breadcrumbs
• Add the sugar and chocolate chips into the mixture. Mix using a wooden spoon
• Break egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork. Add egg to mixing bowl and mix. Add 1 - 2 tbsp of water if the mixture does not stick together. The mixture must be firm enough to stand alone on the baking tray in lumps.
• Place heaps of the mixture on the tray. Make sure that they are all an even size. Bake them for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
