Ingredients For Tutti Frutti Cake

The special ingredient needed for making this cake is tutti frutti or candied raw papaya. Colorful bits of candied raw papaya are known as tutti frutti in India and it is easily available in bakery section.

For baking this tutti frutti cake we need very less and simple ingredients. Regular pantry staples like flour, oil, sugar and curd are the main ingredients.

Flour- I have used plain flour here. You can easily use whole wheat flour or a mix of both

Oil- Any neutral flavored oil or even light olive oil works well. You can use melted butter in place of oil but the cake will be a bit dense

Sugar- Regular sugar, palm sugar, coconut sugar or even powdered jaggery can be used

Use fresh and well whisked curd or plain yogurt. Do not use sour yogurt.

Recipe Notes and Tips:

One important tip to remember while making this cake is to coat the tutti frutti with some flour. Do this before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking inside.

Always use fresh and well whisked curd. I always use my homemade curd for cake recipes and they turn out pretty good.

Allow the cake to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing to get clean slices.
