Yes, you can make this cake by hand with a manual whisk or wooden/silicone spoon. However, you may find that the cake doesn't rise as well. This is because electric beaters mix a lot of air into the cake batter, which helps it to rise and makes it extra fluffy and light. How else can you decorate this cake?

This post is full of helpful tips and commonly asked questions when making lemon drizzle loaf cake, so I do recommend reading through it all first. What is Lemon Drizzle Cake and where does it come from? If you don't have any jam, you could use marmalade or honey - or even golden syrup (but not too much or the cake will be very sweet). All-in-one method makes for an easy cake The rolled edges found on most bakeware introduce a difficult-to-dry space underneath the rim, and the edges themselves can be difficult to coat. We decided to leave the edges of our bakeware unrolled, removing the risk of water traps and uncoated carbon steel edges that might rust – making them completely dishwasher safe.My special ingredient in this Everyday Fruit Cake is a spoonful of jam - any flavour. I started putting jam in when I was given a couple of jars that had been slightly overcooked. The jam was too stiff and treacly tasting to use as it was, so I added it to a fruit cake and liked it. I decorated the cake with vanilla buttercream, but you could make some icing with icing sugar and vanilla extract and/or water, and drizzle it over instead for an even simpler decoration.

Yes it is, BUT cakes can turn out dry for a number of reasons, mostly to do with the bake time and temperature. Unfortunately what the thermostat says may not be accurate!

How do you make a vegan Fruit Cake? I do usually make two at a time and freeze one. When there are only two of us at home I often cut them in half and freeze three halves.

To make a dairy free version of this cake, use a dairy free baking spread instead of butter. How many people does this loaf cake serve?

If you don't have a loaf tin, you can make this fruit cake in an 18cm (7-inch) round deep tin or a 15cm (6-inch) square tin.I chose a simple lemon icing and some lemon zest, but there are a few other ways you could decorate this cake: While I would recommend using fresh lemons in this recipe for the best flavour, you can use lemon extract if it's all you have and you're craving lemon cake!

To freeze them separately, wrap the cake well in cling film or put it in an airtight container. The buttercream can be frozen in a sealed tub. To freeze the loaf cake decorated, freeze on a plate until frozen solid, then carefully wrap in cling film. Remove the clingfilm when you take the loaf cake out of the freezer to defrost, as if it defrosts with it still on it could damage the buttercream.

Avoid using essence as it's a sythentic flavour and personally I don't think it tastes as good.
