Rock Cakes are British in origin, but where, when, and how exactly they came to be is something that doesn’t seem to be well-known. They’re a popular tea-time treat, and seem to have been around since at least Victorian times. They were also actively promoted by the Ministry of Food during WWII thanks to most Rock Cake recipes using fewer eggs and sugar than a traditional cake. What’s with the name? Well, they’re said to resemble a small rock, as they’re rough in shape. But don’t let that put you off! Rock Buns or Cakes are light and crumbly and a bit like scones, with the process of making them starting off in a very similar way. The good thing is they also use ingredients that we tend to have in the cupboard already or can easily substitute, so they’re an easy one to whip up on a whim.
