Vegan Rock cake without eggs recipe
If you have never made or tried rock cakes, the best way to describe them is to compare them with scones. They are similar in taste, texture, and sweetness. The crumbly texture is quite similar.
The difference is that scone dough is rolled and cut out using cutters to make a pretty and suitable cut in half shape. Rock cakes are dropped in dollops onto the baking tray. As easy as that! Rock cakes are the quicker and easier option out of the two.
We love an easy, under 60-minute treat here at LiberEat, who doesn’t? You can bake and eat within an hour, whilst they are still warm!
They work well as an afternoon tea treat with a cup of tea.
Rock Cakes recipe with no baking powder
If you do not want to use baking powder or simply don’t have it in the house, you can use gluten-free self-raising flour instead. This will act as the raising agent instead.
