Hagrid's Rock Cakes (with a few modifications)

Much as I love Hagrid, he is known for his big heart, not his expertise in the kitchen.  So when it came time to choose a yummy culinary compliment to enjoy with the HP DVD last night, we decided on a modified version of Hagrid's Rock Cakes.  You can find the recipe for Hagrid's (not horrible) Rock Cakes at the nom!nom!nom! blog, which has several other yummy looking recipes, too.

I  have to say the batter was really yummy! ;-p   I'm not so sure I loved the finished product; it was tasty enough, but wasn't sweet enough to really be a dessert and it had a bit too much baking soda flavor.  Admittedly, I cut the sugar in half which is usually plenty sweet for me but maybe in this case I should have gone the whole shebang.  Also, I completely blanked and forgot to have my sister bring over her supply of vegan chocolate chips, so we did without those and just used orange-flavored cranberries and chopped walnuts.  Not sure I'll repeat the recipe but, like a visit to Hagrid's, it was unusual, generally pleasant, and definitely fun for a change ;-)

  1. I love that you made an adapted Hagrid recipe to accompany a Harry Potter movie! 1/2 the sugar might have worked fine if the vegan chocolate chips had been included. At least the finished product probably didn't risk breaking your teeth, as Hagrid's creation would have done.

  2. Yeah, the chocolate chips would have helped, although the cranberries had a lot of sugar in them, too. In any case, it was fun and, as you said, no worry of breaking a tooth ;-)
