Tutti frutti
Tutti frutti is a candied fruit made from raw papaya. Papaya is chopped into small cubes, sweetened, colored, and dried to get Tutti Frutti. It is a very popular ingredient for baking, ice creams, and many confectioneries.
Instead of papaya these days we also watermelon rind. Also, there are natural coloring agents rather than the artificial ones
Ingredients
Flour - As always use white flour or you can also try half and half wheat and white flour.
Sugar - Always use powdered sugar. It easily combines with wet ingredients. You can use Jaggery or brown sugar. If using brown sugar it might slightly change the color.
Baking Powder - It gives an airy texture to the tea cake.
Oil - Use any flavorless cooking oil.
Vanilla - Use good quality pure vanilla extract.
Cardamom Powder - Adds a mild cardamom flavor to the cake.

Yogurt - makes a brilliant replacement for eggless cakes.
Tutti Frutti - This is nothing but candied papayas. A very popular ingredient in Indian food joints or bakeries.
Butterscotch Chips - This is a nice addition. You may skip them too.
FAQ's
How do I store eggless tutti frutti cake ?
Let the cake cool completely and then slice and store them in the fridge. Store in air tight containers.
Why do we coat the tutti frutti with flour?
Coating the dry fruits or tutti frutti prevents the tutti frutti from sinking to the bottom of the batter. The tutti frutti or any dry fruits or nuts added to the cake is usually coated with flour. This helps in spreading the added components spread evenly over the cake.
Can I use egg in this tutti frutti cake recipe?
Yes, definitely you may replace the yogurt with 2 eggs. Beat the eggs really well until they triple up in volume and then add. tutti frutti cake with egg also has a nice spongy and airy texture.

- I am using a loaf pan for baking the cake. You may also use a round or square pan. If that is the case the baking time may vary.
- After baking the cake insert a toothpick and check if it comes out clean. If not bake for another 5 or 10 mins as needed.
