Notes
Tip
This is an excellent recipe for kids because it is all done in one bowl, with no heat required until the oven is needed.
Tip
An adult may need to chop the cherries if the children are not safe with knives.
Variation
Traditionally rock cakes have mixed peel, but this can be replaced with glace cherries for a more modern, kid-friendly version.
