TUTTI FRUTTI CAKE

TUTTI FRUTTI CAKE

This soft, moist and delicious eggless tutti frutti cake is one of the easiest I baked in the recent time. Tutti frutti cake is quite popular in the Indian bakeries. It is a favorite among kids and is loved for its colorful appearance & sweet flavor. This tutti frutti cake is very light, moist & is a fail proof recipe. This can be baked even by a beginner or a kid.

This recipe uses milk and vinegar which reacts with the soda and lends a very light & airy texture.

Tutti frutti cake can be made using any basic cake recipe with some tutti fruttis added to the batter. The tutti fruiti I have used was made by me at my home using watermelon peels. Do check it in my another post.
