LEMON FRUIT CAKE INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTE

Flour : Use all purpose flour and not self-rising otherwise your cake will overflow in the oven.If you have cake flour then it should be a great substitute. Another thing is that this cake does not necessarily require that you sift your flour so do not bother.

Eggs : The eggs give the cake it's moisture and flavor. Add them one at a time

Margarine : at room temperature. You can use any type of butter but it should be unsalted.

Lemon Zest : There is nothing better than fresh lemon zest.

Raisins : If you do not have raisins then you should use glacé cherries, lemon rind or any fruit of your choice.

Icing Sugar : If you don't have icing sugar then use brown or granulated sugar.

Baking Powder : A substitute for baking powder is baking soda. You can also use both baking soda and baking powder. If you choose to use both baking soda and baking powder then it should be the same quantity.

Milk : Sour cream is also a great option if you are a sour cream lover. 

Salt : Just a pinch of salt.

Glaze & Sprinkle : I sprinkled icing sugar on the cake and glazed with caramel sauce. You can easily make some homemade caramel sauce or you can buy at your nearest grocery store.
