Tutti Frutti Cake Recipe Without Eggs

Tutti Frutti Cake is a popular variety of Indian cake made with all-purpose flour, tutti frutti (candied fruits or candied papaya), butter, curd (yogurt) sugar, fragrant spices, leavening agents and vanilla. It is a spongy cake studded with small colorful candied fruit pieces which add a lovely sweet and chewy texture. This egg-free recipe makes for a tender cake with a soft and light crumb.

Instructions

Sifting dry ingredients

  1. Take a sieve. Keep a mixing bowl below the sieve. In the sieve add the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon powder and baking powder. 
  2. Sift all the dry ingredients.
  3. Now add the tutti frutti.
  4. Simply mix the tutti frutti with the flour so that they get coated with the flour.
  5. Grease a loaf pan with butter and oil and keep aside. You can even line the pan with butter paper or parchment paper. Also preheat oven at 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

Making sugar solution

  1. In a bowl take sugar and water.
  2. Mix the sugar with water till all the sugar granules are dissolved. 
  3. After all of the sugar has dissolved, add melted butter or oil. You can melt butter in a small pan and keep it ready. With a whisk mix briskly for 2 to 3 minutes till the oil has mixed evenly with the water.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or scrape half of a vanilla bean and add the tiny seeds in the solution. Mix again well. Keep this sugar solution aside.

Making curd mixture

  1. In another bowl take fresh curd or yogurt, water and vinegar. 
  2. You can use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. I have used apple cider vinegar. You can also use lemon juice instead of vinegar. Mix very well.
  3. Now add baking soda. Stir to combine so that the baking soda is mixed evenly.
  4. You will see the mixture frothing and bubbling.

Making cake batter

  1. Quickly add the sugar solution to the sifted dry ingredients.
  2. Then immediately add the bubbling curd solution. 
  3. Mix gently to a smooth batter with light pressure from the hands on the whisk. Do not overdo the mixing. You can even fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Tiny lumps are fine in the batter. 
  4. Pour the cake batter in the greased or lined cake pan.
  5. Gently tap the cake pan on the kitchen table top once or twice.

Baking tutti frutti cake

  1. Place the cake pan in the preheated oven.
  2. Bake the cake at 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or more or less as required. Baking time will vary depending on the temperature conditions in the oven and the size of the oven.
  3. Check with a skewer or fork and it should come out clean.
  4. Place the pan on a wired rack to cool.
  5. When the cake has completely cooled at room temperature, then using a butter knife loosen the edges of the cake. Invert the pan on a chopping board.
  6. Gently tap the bottom of the cake pan and remove the cake. Slice the cake.
  7. Serve the eggless Tutti Frutti Cake as is or with some milk or tea or coffee. Remaining cake can be refrigerated and lightly warmed before serving.

Notes

  • For a whole wheat option, either use whole wheat pastry flour or use equal proportions (¾ cup each) of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. Sift the flour twice or thrice before making the batter and slightly add more of the liquids to get the right batter consistency. 
  • Remember to use fresh curd (yogurt), and not the one which has become overly sour or is too tangy.
  • If you like to reduce sugar in the cake, consider adding about ½ or ⅔ cup of sugar according to your taste preferences.
  • You could also omit the sugar completely and use other alternatives like maple syrup, palm sugar, brown sugar, jaggery or coconut sugar.
  • Unsalted butter works perfectly in this cake. Yet, if all that you have is salted butter, then remember not to add the salt while sifting the flour.
  • For a plant based version, include a neutral flavored oil and a plant based yogurt.
  • Feel free to use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Additionally you could use same amount of lemon juice instead of the vinegar.
  • The approximate nutrition data is for one slice of the Tutti Frutti Cake.
