It was a simple recipe to follow and within 30 minutes the rock cakes were baking in the oven. I got Hannah to help in measuring the ingredients using the digital weighing scale, whisking dry ingredients, pouring ingredients and rubbing cold butter into flour. She was very excited since last night when I announced that we were going to bake the rock cakes together on the following day. She reminded me to buy eggs the moment she woke up in the morning and fished out her apron from her drawer to get ready. Below is the recipe we used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plain Flour &#8211; 100 g<\/li>\n<li>Baking Powder &#8211; 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Cold butter &#8211; 50 g<\/li>\n<li>Castor sugar &#8211; 50 g<\/li>\n<li>Raisins &#8211; 25 g<\/li>\n<li>Egg &#8211; 1<\/li>\n<li>Salt &#8211; pinch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
