Rocky Crunch Cakes Recipe
For such an easy recipe, these Rocky Crunch Cakes are so yummy that you can’t stop at one! They are crunchy on the outside but have a lovely softer centre. I can’t believe how hot it was last week. A week of temperatures where the daily maximum is near or over 40 degrees is just nasty! We spent most of last week hibernating indoors during the day and watering our poor plants at night.
