If you only ever make one recipe from this website, make it this one. I promise, so long as you like coconut, you will not be disappointed.
I don’t think I have the words to describe them with any justice, so I shan’t even try. Just take my word for it, they are freaking delicious :)
Coconut Rock Cakes
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 110 g butter
- 110 g sugar
- 200 g plain flour
- 75 g desiccated coconut
- ½ teaspoon bicarb of soda baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 egg
- a little brown sugar to top
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400/gas 6/200/180 fan
-
Cream the butter, sugar and egg together in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the rest of the ingredients and, using some brute strength, mix it to a stiff consistency.
-
On a greased baking sheet, pile largish mounds of the mix.
-
You'll need to push each lump together ever so slightly, but you don't want to flatten out those rough edges.
-
Lightly sprinkle with the brown sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and the edges are just starting to darken.
You had me at coconut. I love it any way I can get it, and this way certainly looks/sounds delicious! :)

Ooooh delish! I used to dislike coconut when I was younger but I must say it’s growing on me :)
Made them today and they are delicious, made little dips in the centre and filled them with jam. Just to say if you are making them though they do spread on the tray so space apart whilst baking. Great recipe
Hey Michelle, thanks so much for your sweet message & glad you loved them!
