Rock Cakes 英式石頭小蛋糕

One of the classic British afternoon treat – Rock cake. Also is Mr P’s childhood treat! This cake introduced during World WarII while egg, flour, sugar are in ration. So people like to make this rock cake as it required less sugar and egg. Also the look of the cakes look like a rock, so there is rock cake.

The ingredients are very simple, and it exactly the same way as you make scone. They are hard at the outside and crumble inside. It doesn’t look very appealing but it taste really good!
