How to Make New Zealand Rock Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the self-raising flour and mixed spice until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the sultanas (or raisins) and milk until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each cake.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
- Leave the rock cakes to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your taste of New Zealand history with a cup of tea or coffee!
