Rock Bun

One of the first cakes one would make when starting bake, I remember as a kid's eating these cream cake's and leaving crumbs all over the place could not get enough of them so yummy and delicious.

Super easy to make, and brings back so many memories. A little treat often had when you were sent to the local bakery to buy fresh bread for the family. Crunchy on the outside, and soft and yummy on the inside.

“ Rock cake, also called a rock bun, is a small cake with a rough surface resembling a rock. They were promoted by the British Ministry of Food during the Second World War since they require fewer eggs and less sugar than ordinary cakes”
