Tips and Tricks
  • For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or mixed spice to the dough.
  • If you prefer a softer rock cake, brush the tops lightly with milk before baking.
  • Swap raisins for sultanas, currants, or even chocolate chips for a fun twist.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer freshness.
