Light Rock Cakes

"The best way to describe rock cakes are as an ugly, cake-like, drop cookie. They have a lovely light texture with a crisp outer. I have altered the traditional recipe to include cranberries. These serves are pretty large. Australian measurements used."

  1. DH loved these, I felt they were a tad dry but tasted good with all the fruit. They were nice and crunchy on the outside and soft inside, just like you said! I subed splenda for the sugar on top, worked out nicely Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Absolutely loved this recipe! Although I would also add in 2 tbsps of sugar/sweetener into the mixture. To make them even less fat and more creamier, substitute the milk for fat-free natural yogurt or you could use vanilla (although I have not tried this) - delicious!
     
  3. Really like these & about to make a second batch. May put a couple of tablespoons of sugar in the dough as well this time, but I did love how the sweetness comes mostly from the fruit. Thanks for posting Mischka!
