Mumma's Rock Cakes

My mum is a chef and is always cooking the yummiest food, since I was younger I've always loved helping her out in the kitchen, so I thought I'd bake some cakes with her and do a step by step post on her recipe! Here we go...

                                                   

Ingredients:

8oz/225g Self Raising Flour
1tsp Baking Powder
4oz/110g Soft Butter
2oz/55g Caster Sugar
6oz/110g Mixed Fruit
1 Medium Egg
1-3 tbsp Milk
1tsp Mixed Spice


First of all pre-heat your oven to 200C.

STEP 1:

Place the Self Raising Flour into a large mixing bowl and add 1tsp of Baking Powder and 1tsp of Mixed Spice.

STEP 2:

Add 4oz of Soft Butter to the mix and get those hands in and gently break up the pieces until the mixture is breadcrumb-like.
 

STEP 3:

Create a hole in the middle of the mixture.





Then add the Mixed Fruit into the middle, then add the Caster Sugar, Eggs and Milk.       

Mix until it becomes a dough.



STEP 4:

Grease the baking trays then create rough rock cake shapes, they don't have to look perfect at all!
Place them on the baking tray.



STEP 5:

Place them in the oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown depending on the oven type.

STEP 6:

When they are ready take them out, place them on a rack and leave to cool for a few minutes and they're ready to eat!
ENJOY!!

 How yummy do these look?!!

Let me know if you try these out? Happy baking! :)
