Mary Berry Rock Cakes
This Mary Berry Rock Cakes recipe reminds me of my childhood—the first buns I ever baked. Deliciously crusty and topped with raisins, they vanish before they even have a chance to cool.
Ingredients
- 225 g (8 oz) flour self-raising
- 2 tsp baking powder level teaspoons
- 100 g (4 oz) butter softened
- 50 g (2 oz) sugar granulated
- 100 g (4 oz) dried fruit mixed
- 50 g (2 oz) currants
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- demerara sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 200°C or to 180°C with fan. Lightly grease 2 baking trays.
- Add the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.

- Stir in the sugar and fruit. Mix well until they're combined evenly.
- Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl and add to the fruity mixture.
- Add a little milk, if the mixture is too dry.
- Shape the mixture into about 12 rock cakes and place on the baking tray.
