About Tutti Frutti Cake
If you have eaten cakes from local bakeries in India, you couldn’t have missed this Tutti Frutti Cake. Tutti Frutti is most often used in cakes, cupcakes, cookies and ice cream. Also, there is no chance for you to have missed those Brittania Tea Time Cakes. Tutti Frutti Cake is one popular cake in their collections. Every time I think of those cakes, it brings in a lot of beautiful memories and I am sure it’s the same with you 🙂
If you are wondering what Tutti frutti is, in simple terms, they are candied fruits. It is most often made from papaya, berries and a few other fruits. It is usually available easily in India and if you are living outside India, Tutti Frutti can be found in Indian Grocery Stores. I have seen many people make tutti frutti at home as well. You can definitely try this option too if you are interested in attempting something new.
This Tutti Frutti Cake is eggless but super moist and soft. The addition of yogurt, and milk does help in giving a lovely texture to the cake. To give a slight citrus flavour to the cake, I have added lemon zest. You can add a dash of pineapple essence or even orange zest. I have kept this cake nut-free to make tutti frutti the hero of the cake.
Overall it’s an easy, quick recipe to put together when you want to make a delicious tea time cake. So, let’s get into the recipe now.

Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature
Use good quality, fresh ingredients for the best results.
Do not overmix at any point. Over mixing the ingredients results in a dense cake texture.
To prevent the Tutti Frutti from sinking at the bottom, add 1 tbsp all-purpose flour to the tutti frutti & coat well before adding them to the cake batter.
Like I always say, every oven is different. Do a toothpick test in the center of the cake to check if it is fully cooked.
