  Thought these were lovely - I found the quantity enough to make nine good-sized cakes. Instructions don't say when to add the fruit - but I stirred it in to the flour/butter mixture before adding the egg and that seemed to work ok (don't suppose it really matters when you add it!). Reminds me of being a child when my mother made rock cakes.

  These came out just great considering I made them with a class of Japanese 15 year olds. They didn't quite look right but they tasted just like the ones Mum used to make and were great with some tea. With the students I used margarine (it is cheaper), but when I made my practice version I used butter. The butter ones tasted better. Was that because I used butter or because of who made them ... hummmm ... since I am a terrible cook I would imagine it was the butter.

  I made these for the guys at the tennis club to have after our game and they disappeared within minutes. Even one of the girls on a diet had two!! One note of warning - it doesn't mention in the instructions when to add the fruit so make sure you do this before putting them in the oven. Will definitely be making these again

  Delicious, I make them often but as I have arthiritis I mix the flour and marg in the processor and also add extra cinnamon.

  Love the recipe for rock cakes, shame about the fruit. Fine for the likes of me who has cooked them before, but children may wonder when to add the fruit. Thanks all the same Ann

  very good recipe. I used caster and muscovado sugar (50/50) as I didn't have any demerara sugar and it worked out OK.

  Like other people, added the dried fruit just after the sugar, before the eggs and milk. Made double quantity to take some to work tomorrow, but with teenage boys they may not get that far!! Did the whole thing in a food-processor, making them even quicker and easier. Double quantity made 23 good sized buns. Great recipe - thanks for sharing :)

  Great recipe!! Very morish...almost too morish. I was a slightly worried that they would turn out like rocks but instead they are very light. I will definately be making these again! I made the rock cakes with currants and put them in with the sugar, which worked very well.

  I just adore these rock cakes! I always go for a full tsp of cinnamon. The fruit doesn't have to be mixed either, I have made these very successfully with just sultanas. You can get 12 'cup of tea' sized cakes from this mix in my opinion. Thank you very much for adding this recipe!

  I was told by my hubby and inlaws that these were so so good! I unfortunatly hate dried fruit so made some with chopped fresh bananas and choc chips and they were delicious and my sister agreed. Definite thumbs up!!
