My mother used to make these years ago. I am 66 so I remember them 60 odd years ago...By the time I was 9, I was making them with my mum.Loved them with butter on. Lovely memories.Put 2 eggs in sweet heart and a drop more milk
I have made these for many years, from my Mums recipe. Her recipe says to sprinkle with Demerara sugar before baking. I have never tried baking them in the air fryer, but will give it a go. 😊
Look delicious! You are so down to earth. I have been baking for years. I put a bit of citrus zest in dough or on top before cooking. Lemon or orange zest. Enjoy
Hi Kerry - loved seeing rick cakes being made! Havent seen them for years. Not sure if anyone has said this before, but when converting oven instructions to air fryer, general rule of thumb is to take 20⁰ off the temperature and 20% off the cooking time. Hope this helps 😊
@@kathymuncaster1511 they are a very adult treat to enjoy. The raisins plump up nicely in dark rum and brown sugar soaked overnight. The residue liquid then goes with ginger ale and ice plus orange peel for a super cocktail. Enjoy!
My Nan made rock cakes every weekend bring them round on Monday and us kids would accuse her of using real rocks and dad would ask what cement mix was in her recipe lol funny how they all got hoovered up in minutes 😂😂🎉 how about Bread pudding Kerry ??
Thanks Kerry ,these remind me of my mum she used to make these when I was young to keep them rockey you use to big spoons and the larger ones are the perfect shape and to enjoy them at there best slice them with a bit of butter and a nice cup of tea the perfect afternoon tea ...happy days ..xxx
love your no-nonsense approach to your blog. It is very clear and Ilike the fact that when things don't turn out quite so good you accept it & share with us. I am cooking the bar birth receipe also rock buns/cakes. Would love to see you cook a whole fruit cake and a maderia cake also.
Oh thank you, that's a lovely comment😀💕 I'm going to do a xmas cake very soon, will add Madeira cake to my 'to do' list (do not need much prodding to make cakes lol)
Hello Kerry I just made these today, they came out lovely crunchy outside light n fluffy inside. I'm in love with my little cosori 12 litre oven I put them on two trays so kept an eye on them and swapped over half way. 😀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 forgot to add the last time I made rock cakes I was about ten years old, seventy now,lol.💝
That was an absolute brilliant video - though pure torture at the end watching you do the ‘taste test’ - the rock cakes looked so delicous. Thank you - I love your down to earth approach please don’t change.
Hello I'm in Canada and just found you here on you tube and love watch your cooking channel, thank you for doing them. I have also gone back and looked at the older videos.
That brought back memories Kerry, my Mum used to make those when I was a child during the war years. During the war years I doubt if families had enough points in the ration books to have butter on them, but I think now I might be tempted to put butter on. Must say Kerry as usual they look excellent. X
Thank you Jo💕💕Yes butter added to finished rock cake very likely not an option back then, those years must have been tough for people then. No wonder food shopping went nuts from the mid 50s onwards. I'm sure people have a collective panic on running out of food items now as a bit of a throwback or hangover the mental strain rationing must have impacted on people during those years, you esp feel it in the supermarkets just before xmas with that mad headless chicken momentum before the shops shut for 2 days🥴
Totally amazing, I used to make these with my mom and this brings back some great memories so thank you. Only thing I did different was half a glace cherry on top and instead of using hands to load i used two forks, pick up a quantity of dough then just plonk it on tray or in airfryer, its then ready roughed up add cherry and sugar then cook.
I make rock buns with selfraising flour no baking powder.I make 3 different rockbuns cherry.coconut& sultana with mixed spice.Enjoy watching your airfryer recipes.
Rock Cake Recipe 300g Plain Flour 1.5 tsp Baking Powder 80g Sugar (granulated) plus extra for dusting 150g butter/marg 100g Sultanas/Dried Fruit 1 large Egg 1 tbspn Milk 1/2 tsp Mixed Spice Pinch of salt Method: Add Flour, sugar, salt, baking powder & mixed spice to a large bowl, mix together. Add butter/marg & rub together until it resembles bread- crumbs. Add sultanas/dried fruit to dry breadcrumby mix. Stir through. Whisk egg & milk together in a seperate bowl, add egg/milk mixture to rock cake mix and mix well together. Using wet fingers, portion out small rough balls and place onto parchment paper in Airfryers. Bake setting 180c/350f for 10/15 mins (turn halfway!). Once cooled, Enjoy!
Yes and baking powder..Mum never used all spice as it was a cheap cake because if the war..So ingredients were basic...Lovely with butter on and jam.They are nice with Glacier Cherries also..And savory with cheese added
Hi kerry I'm one of 6 kids and mum baked every Saturday afternoon and sometimes made rock cakes but she didnt used to use lard instead of marg in her rockcakes and they used to be so so yummy and you couldn't tell it was lard she used I always use lard in rockcakes mum used marg in all her baking but not rock cakes I love rock cakes so quick and easy and yummy love fran xxx
I always soak my fruit in hot tea as well, it makes the fruit stay nice and soft. I find otherwise the fruit goes to dry. . I just noticed someone else had said the same. I do the same for a fruit cake. Of course your choice at the end of the day. Finished item looked good. Xx thanks for sharing.
Some suggestions if I may: Its easier to melt the butter, then just stir it in with the egg. Try with candied peel or chopped apricots, and orange or lemon zest. Or even sultanas soaked in rum, with cinnamon for the spice Finally, don't turn the cakes over, it dries them out too much.
Hi there Kerry, you did well !!! I'm going to try a fruit loaf 🤭 why don't you have a go @ that & we'll see how we do. I've made a pavlova & egg sponge in the Cosori, they turned out fine. Thanks for that, from me in Irvine 😁😁
Hi Grace👋😀thank you! Ahhh check out tomorrow's vlog (monday)😉👍wow that's brilliant you've made a pavlova - I need to try that again, get that meringue right (what was your meringue method?!)
Hi Kerry, Made these last week and soaked the dried fruit in some orange juice for about 10mins and added orange zest to the dried ingredients. Have seen coconut added to in another recipe. Will have to try these in my air fryer the way you have done ❤Thank you !!❤
Aww that sounds lovely, esp with the added orange zest, funnily enough I was using orange zest, orange juice and more ingredients in my lovely new frying pan today (thank you Trish for that, i really love it🥰) going to be Fridays vlog👌👍💕💕
Thank you Jennifer😀💕love vintage crockery, got quite a bit - will keep trying to incorporate them into the vlogs - always hunting in charity shops for old pieces😄
Just had my first attempt at making these rock cakes/scones and while they were moorish they were very crumbly so when you try to cut in half they all broke up, so had to butter each chunk. Where did I go wrong?? Any idea
I made these in my Ninja today. The very first cakes I've ever made in an air fryer. I substituted Canderel sugar as I'm diabetic, but they were absolutely lovely. A naughty treat that isn't too naughty. Going to try your poached egg method tomorrow.
Hi there, I have mine baking in my ninja as we speak. Loved the water idea to mould them. I have some more waiting to go in once first batch cooked. 10mins left. They smell and look goof. Thank you ❤️🐸
Hi ya Kerry Lovin ur video they always remind of my Mum bless her she used to make the loviest tastiest rock cakes they didn't last long in our house 😋xx
Rock cakes are lovely, and so does yours Kerry. I was going to suggest using a ice cream scoop to make them all the same size but probably looks better rustic. I love your recipes you do as it’s my kind of food and glad you still use the ninja. Take care.
Hi Kerry, they looked lovely, I could just eat one. I haven't made them in years. I just used a spoon to scoop the mixture out onto the tray. Usually when cooking in the air fryer you take 20 degrees off what the oven says. Butlers Empire do a conversion chart. I just wrote one out from theirs. Also cook for less time
Thanks so much for doing rock cakes, for a moment I was back in my mothers kitchen during the forties as I watched her very carefully measure the rationed butter, look at me, then add a bit more. Wonderful absolutely wonderful … firing up my Cosori as soon as I’ve pressed send. Thank again Stuart.
@@Nanna-MO Yes, but we are a tad further north in the Shetland Isles, and fly cakes they were. I’m going to make some for my granddaughters and see if they give them to same label.
Oh that's really lovely Stuart, I loved the "my mum would look at me and add a bit more" brilliant😄👍💕 Are you in Shetland? My Dad was in the tv programme Shetland, well one of them, he was the murderer lol
@@budgetcookinguk What a small world. Do hope your dad enjoyed both spending time in Shetland and playing a murderer (which I suspect is much more fun than playing a good guy). I have a cottage on the Island of Yell where I am a stones throw from my daughter and her teenage girls. With limited access to supplies, bread baking and daily adventures with the Cosori is something of a must, so you can imagine how helpful your TH-cam endeavors are (daughter and her Bairns are veggies and being helpless in the kitchen isn’t an option). Do keep up the good work as I have no doubt I’m not the only old guy your inspiring. Look upon it as the senior citizen support segment of your endeavors lol. Seriously - thanks for your great contend, it really is fun to see what your going to have a go at next, and even more fun trying my hand at it. Best wishes Stuart.
@@joanedwards1120 lol they weren't the best, I can hardly remember mine other than making lemon meringue pie about 5 times at home trying to get the meringue right for the school lesson, not much has changed lol😄
Hi Kerry, I’ve watched your videos from the get go and thought you seemed very familiar. It wasn’t until you mentioned your local charity shop in one of your other videos. I live about 30 mins away and have worked in Colchester for the past 8 years. I’m convinced I must have met you somewhere before but have no idea where. Anyway always enjoy watching your videos, keep up the the good work.
😄we probably passed each other in the street, small world though eh? So many possibilities, car boots, shopping...I could have a doppelganger in the local area, once a woman came up to me convinced she knew me (didn't know my name) but I'd never met her before 🤷♀️thanks for watching Joe👍👍its really appreciated
They look lovely. Reminds me of a recipe I have somewhere given to me years ago by a gentleman and he used cheese and onion instead of fruit for himself and his invalid wife. I would eat all of them fruity or savoury. Thank you Kerry and hope all goes well with your new job.
Looks yummy Kerry...I remember my Mum making these for us 6 kids and then making them for my kids.....I sprinkle demerera sugar on mine before cooking....good luck with the new job x
Wow Kerry I haven't made them for years but next on my list and yes I would be tempted to put butter on them. A little tip put a damp cloth under your bowl to stop it moving about. Have a lovely week Xxxx
Hi Kerry I've just found you. I used to make these all the time in the ord oven but haven't thought to try in the air fryer. They looked so good, next on my list. Thank you. Oh good luck in your new job
tip fr you. To moisten hands when handling a sticky dough, use a sprayer filled with fresh water. saves ahving to keep dipping hands into a bowl and dripping water. My hubster loves rck cakes- haven't made them in a while so am going to make some this afternoon. thanks x
Thank you for doing these Kerry . I told you I had a disaster with mine in the Ninja I couldn't get the middles to cook . I gave up and cooked a batch in the oven as my Husband loves rock cakes.I will be trying your recipe but I can't do the rubbing in method at the moment as I fell and broke two fingers , ouch. Good luck with your new job I hope it goes well for you.
Oh no Karen! Ouch!! I hope you get the use of your fingers back soon💕, I had a fracture in my left hand fingers (dog related lunge/trying to grab the lead🤦♀️) oh boy, we forget how much we use our hands without thinking.
My mum also used to make rock cakes and we always had butter in them. Also raspberry buns which I think is a similar mix, she made a little well in the middle for jam, both yummy ❤ good luck in your new job. X
My mum always used lard flour sugar and milk and currant s sultanas or raisins mum always called them the poor man's scone .her mum used to make them in the war so did mum for the 6 of us in the 60s she taught me to make them love fran xxx
At school in the 1960s we were taught to make the mixture, then use half for jam buns, add fruit to the remaining half for rock cakes. Am over 70 and still baking these often.
I would definitely have a nice spread of butter in them, I love them without too though. My grandsons could eat dozens of them in one sitting lol, with a bit of help from my daughter ... 😋😋😋😋
The dried fruit was left over from the xmas cake Rachel😀, very well wrapped up - I should have soaked them 1st thou. Lidl sell dried fruit and I've now run out - think I'll buy another as they really last for months after opening! So handy to have in the cupboard just in case rock buns or whatever needs to be made😄
Wow Kerry, they looked amazing, thank you for showing us how. I definitely will be trying that soon, although I have had difficulty getting hold of dried fruit/sulatnnas in Colchester in the last couple of weeks. 😥 x
Oh thank you Heather😀💕I was in lidl (near gosbecks) this morning and they had dried fruit but if you're like me, you won't want to be running around town for one ingredient 🥴
@@budgetcookinguk lol nope, won't be running around town for one ingredient Kerry! Thank you, I am thinking of doing a lidl shop soon so fingers crossed. Keep up the good work. I'll look for your in Lidl, but must be strange for you as you haven't got a clue what I look like lol x ❣x
I could have fancied a bit of butter on the. Idle of mine . But that’s me. I am not sure if others do that or not. Just perfect looking. I remember them back just after the war. They would be a luxury at that time.
Well Kerry you have made pebble cakes!! In the ration days they probably used powdered egg which was haff as a egg replacement, but good as a ingredient! A for effort!😊
Takes me way back to 1974 helping my Nam make her famous Rock Cakes, and getting to spoon out the left overs after😋 Who doesn't like a good old fashioned Rock Cake Great video dear 👍

Aw that's lovely thank you Derry, I was following a recipe but next time i will add a 2nd egg and a bit more milk😀👍💕boys loved them
We had rock cakes for school dinners back in the 80's
Back in the days when they actually cooked school dinners instead of buying in processed stuff 🍲
I have made these for many years, from my Mums recipe. Her recipe says to sprinkle with Demerara sugar before baking. I have never tried baking them in the air fryer, but will give it a go. 😊
Look delicious! You are so down to earth. I have been baking for years. I put a bit of citrus zest in dough or on top before cooking. Lemon or orange zest. Enjoy
I am from Australia down under and they look yummy Kerry.....I did know you could do cakes in the air frier.......Thank you....keep them coming.
This brought back a memory of cooking these at school!
Hi Kerry - loved seeing rick cakes being made! Havent seen them for years.
Not sure if anyone has said this before, but when converting oven instructions to air fryer, general rule of thumb is to take 20⁰ off the temperature and 20% off the cooking time. Hope this helps 😊
Hi Kerry it’s a good idea to soak dried fruit in hot tea,just enough to cover for about 10 minutes it makes them plump and juicy drain before use💐
Aah that's true Christine😄🤦♀️, I had forgotten this, isn't this what you'd do when making xmas cake as well?
Even better soak raisins in rum for rum n raisin rock cakes
@@gaycha6589omg, how ingenious love this idea ❤
@@kathymuncaster1511 they are a very adult treat to enjoy. The raisins plump up nicely in dark rum and brown sugar soaked overnight. The residue liquid then goes with ginger ale and ice plus orange peel for a super cocktail. Enjoy!
My Nan made rock cakes every weekend bring them round on Monday and us kids would accuse her of using real rocks and dad would ask what cement mix was in her recipe lol funny how they all got hoovered up in minutes 😂😂🎉 how about Bread pudding Kerry ??
made them ! grandchildren loved them…. thank you
All they need is a nice cup of coffee. Done it again Kerry tummy rumbling. Another good old fashioned recipe love it.

These are fantastic made with dried cranberries.
I always soak my fruit in hot tea as well, it makes the fruit stay nice and soft. I find otherwise the fruit goes to dry. . I just noticed someone else had said the same. I do the same for a fruit cake. Of course your choice at the end of the day. Finished item looked good. Xx thanks for sharing.
Ah I'm learning Karen😀👍, 1st time making a lot of recipes - the channel and its viewers have taught me a lot! I will def soak next time👌💕
@@budgetcookinguk well your doing a very good job ,and always a pleasure to watch, so no beating yourself up.
Some suggestions if I may:
Its easier to melt the butter, then just stir it in with the egg. Try with candied peel or chopped apricots, and orange or lemon zest. Or even sultanas soaked in rum, with cinnamon for the spice
Finally, don't turn the cakes over, it dries them out too much.

Anyway always enjoy watching your videos, keep up the the good work.
😄we probably passed each other in the street, small world though eh? So many possibilities, car boots, shopping...I could have a doppelganger in the local area, once a woman came up to me convinced she knew me (didn't know my name) but I'd never met her before 🤷♀️thanks for watching Joe👍👍its really appreciated
They look lovely. Reminds me of a recipe I have somewhere given to me years ago by a gentleman and he used cheese and onion instead of fruit for himself and his invalid wife. I would eat all of them fruity or savoury. Thank you Kerry and hope all goes well with your new job.
Ooo like cheesy scones Emily😋😋 rock cakes are very similar to scones as well, scones maybe the smooth smart version😄and thank you too Emily💕💕
I've just found your channel and love it ! Xx
Oh that's lovely Lisa, thank you😀💕💕
Looks yummy Kerry...I remember my Mum making these for us 6 kids and then making them for my kids.....I sprinkle demerera sugar on mine before cooking....good luck with the new job x
Aww that's lovely Sharon💕 I was just saying its lovely how so many grandparents have been remembered here, really love that
Wow Kerry I haven't made them for years but next on my list and yes I would be tempted to put butter on them. A little tip put a damp cloth under your bowl to stop it moving about. Have a lovely week Xxxx
That's a great tip thank you Rosa😀👍💕💕you too!!
Hi Kerry I've just found you. I used to make these all the time in the ord oven but haven't thought to try in the air fryer. They looked so good, next on my list. Thank you. Oh good luck in your new job
Thank you very much 😀👍💕 (sorry I don't know your first name☺️)
Wow they look amazing Kerry
Thank you Maureen🥰🥰
tip fr you. To moisten hands when handling a sticky dough, use a sprayer filled with fresh water. saves ahving to keep dipping hands into a bowl and dripping water. My hubster loves rck cakes- haven't made them in a while so am going to make some this afternoon. thanks x
That's such a good tip😀👍thank you, saves multiple trips to the tap!😄💕
I’ve never cooked rock cakes, will definitely give them a go they look great, put butter on mine lol. 😊
Butter def a required addition Iris😋👍 1st time cooking for me, really happy with the results
Must have a go never made rock cakes but they do look yummy
Aww that's fab Chris😀👍💕
Made them today, they were tasty thanks for sharing
Oh fab Queenie😀👍💕💕
They looked very morish Kerry definitely going to be making some at the weekend in my ninja
Thank you Gareth, they really were moreish, boys loved them😋👍
I wonder if you could use blueberry’s. I’m new to this baking world 😂
Definitely going to give these a go 👌
Fab easy recipe Deborah👍👍💕
Thank you for doing these Kerry . I told you I had a disaster with mine in the Ninja I couldn't get the middles to cook . I gave up and cooked a batch in the oven as my Husband loves rock cakes.I will be trying your recipe but I can't do the rubbing in method at the moment as I fell and broke two fingers , ouch. Good luck with your new job I hope it goes well for you.
Oh no Karen! Ouch!! I hope you get the use of your fingers back soon💕, I had a fracture in my left hand fingers (dog related lunge/trying to grab the lead🤦♀️) oh boy, we forget how much we use our hands without thinking.
My mum also used to make rock cakes and we always had butter in them. Also raspberry buns which I think is a similar mix, she made a little well in the middle for jam, both yummy ❤ good luck in your new job. X
I like the sound of raspberry buns Janet 😋I've made raspberry cake which is delish but buns hmmm. Thank you as well☺️💕
My mum always used lard flour sugar and milk and currant s sultanas or raisins mum always called them the poor man's scone .her mum used to make them in the war so did mum for the 6 of us in the 60s she taught me to make them love fran xxx
At school in the 1960s we were
taught to make the mixture, then use half for jam buns, add fruit to the remaining half for rock cakes. Am over 70 and still baking these often.
Delicious Kerry, try them with butter. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sheila💕💕
They look good 😊 could I just ask where you got your green utensils from please..
Thank you Beverley 😀💕mine were a gift but these are the exact same amzn.eu/d/4XZigcr
@@budgetcookinguk Thank you x
I would definitely have a nice spread of butter in them, I love them without too though. My grandsons could eat dozens of them in one sitting lol, with a bit of help from my daughter ... 😋😋😋😋
Definitely moreish Glenda, my boys loved them too😀💕
Love a rock cake Kerry,i always put come butter on mine,love a bit of butter lol
Butter a must me thinks Lois😋😄👍💕
Kerry love rock cakes also do mine in air fryer yes soak fruit for about ten mins, also try Orange/ Almond or any flavoring in them nice
I will definitely soak next time, love the comment section Sandra, learn so much from you lovely lot🥰🥰
Ooo, I've never seen them made with mixed fruit. It's usually just currants, will definitely try this recipie with the spice too.😊
The dried fruit was left over from the xmas cake Rachel😀, very well wrapped up - I should have soaked them 1st thou. Lidl sell dried fruit and I've now run out - think I'll buy another as they really last for months after opening! So handy to have in the cupboard just in case rock buns or whatever needs to be made😄
@Budget Cooking UK yeah it's always handy to keep them in.x
Yes, definitely some with butter. Haha my mouth was watering watching the taste test😂. Simple, but tasty 🎉
Thank you Rosemary😀💕 perfect combo inc a little dollop of jam😋
Wow Kerry, they looked amazing, thank you for showing us how. I definitely will be trying that soon, although I have had difficulty getting hold of dried fruit/sulatnnas in Colchester in the last couple of weeks. 😥 x
Oh thank you Heather😀💕I was in lidl (near gosbecks) this morning and they had dried fruit but if you're like me, you won't want to be running around town for one ingredient 🥴
@@budgetcookinguk lol nope, won't be running around town for one ingredient Kerry!
Thank you, I am thinking of doing a lidl shop soon so fingers crossed.
Keep up the good work.
I'll look for your in Lidl, but must be strange for you as you haven't got a clue what I look like lol x
❣x
Another great recipe. They look great ❤
Thanks Debs!😀💕💕
Takes me back!
I could have fancied a bit of butter on the. Idle of mine . But that’s me. I am not sure if others do that or not. Just perfect looking. I remember them back just after the war. They would be a luxury at that time.
Butter a must imo Karen😀👍 but pretty nice without as well. I think a few do put a little butter on theirs😋
Mmm, look great, would go nice with a drizzle of cream 😋
Hmm yes that's sounds good Phil😋👍
They look delicious, so yummy
Thank you Marilyn 😀💕
Have you tried baked apple in the Air Fryer? Barbara. Love rock cakes x
Oo I haven't Barbara but I've just googled it - yum - I think I'll add that to the list to try, thank you for the suggestion💕💕
Well Kerry you have made pebble cakes!! In the ration days they probably used powdered egg which was haff as a egg replacement, but good as a ingredient! A for effort!😊
That's true Karlton, I forgot about egg replacement powder, no wonder people kept chickens wherever possible.
I’ve just made your rock cakes and they are absolutely delicious, thank you for sharing this fab recipe ☺️
@@bernardrooney2507 oh fab Bernard😀👍💕
Kerry great music
Thank you 😀👍
Def going to make these
Remember my Nanna making these we had them with butter on and sometimes with just jam 😊
I really love how many peoples nans and grannies have been remembered here💕💕💕
I’m big on butter also Kerry, lash it on🫠
One of the first things I ever baked were rock buns. Haven't had them for years and years. I'll be making some now though.
Hmmm I need to make some more Steve😋 I forgot to soak the dried fruit 🤦♀️so that's my excuse to have another go😄
@@budgetcookinguk Put a tot of rum or whiskey in the tea you soak them in.
🇬🇧❤️ mouth watering 😋🤤, I'm gonna make it hem Rock cakes, my air fryer is a Tower, ❤️💜
Oh lovely😀👍, airfryers are fab aren't they Sharron💕💕
Interestingly enough, I turn mine over to top the back off. - And, I use tongs with the silicon tips. better to get at and turn.
Takes me way back to 1974 helping my Nam make her famous Rock Cakes, and getting to spoon out the left overs after😋
Who doesn't like a good old fashioned Rock Cake
Great video dear 👍
Thanks Dave, do love how many grans n nans have been remembered in the comments💕
Less time on the air fryer ones so as not so hard would be my preference. Soak fruit first may be helpful.
I used to just use a dessert spoon and plonk on the baking sheet or whatever you’re using.
Ah that's a good idea Patricia☺️👍💕
I like them warm with butter
