“Finally he slammed down three bucket-sized mugs of mahogany-brown tea in front of them and a plate of his rock cakes. Harry was hungry enough even for Hagrid’s cooking, and took one at once.” – Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Throughout the Harry Potter books, Hagrid’s cooking is something that seems best to be avoided. As described in The Sorcerer’s Stone, “The rock cakes almost broke their teeth, but Harry and Ron pretended to be enjoying them.” On the contrary, a classic Rock Cake has a consistency somewhat similar to a scone with a crumbly, rock-like outer and a soft, dense center. You’re going to be craving fall days curled up with a cuppa, a good book (preferably Harry Potter), and these Paleo Rock Cakes. They are chock full of aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and I am a firm believer that the orange zest is what completely elevates them. It’s safe to say that your kitchen is going to smell delightful. Please note the skip-to-recipe button at the top
