Tutti Frutti Cake [ Eggfree and Part Wholewheat]

-

 A simple eggless tutti frutti cake. For those of you who like ‘tasty cakes’ with no frills attached, this one totally fits the bill

I love simple tasty cakes and so does everyone in my family. The Whole wheat tutti frutti cake I made ages ago was quite a hit and loads of people tried the recipe with successful results.

Last night I decided to make it again to send it over for my husband’s colleagues. Well I am so bad at following recipes, I don’t even follow my own! So after a quick look, I did my own thing and this turned out just as yum.

Thought I would share this version with you guys too. Like always ‘simple does it’.

If not tutti frutti, throw in nuts or chocolate chips or just have it plain. This one is perfect for a tea time snack.

Happy Baking.

Recipe Tutti Frutti Cake - Version 2

Prep Time           10 minutes

Cook Time           40 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tbsp baking powder

1 cup warm milk

1/2 cup curd

1/2 cup Oil [regular unflavoured cooking oil]

3/4 cup powdered sugar or cane sugar

1/2 tbsp baking soda

1 tsp Pineapple essence

2 tbsps tutti frutti

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes.
  2. Grease an 8 inch round tin and set aside.
  3. Sieve the flours, baking powder and salt together 3-4 times. [I used all purpose flour because I ran out of whole wheat flour. But you can conveniently make this using only whole wheat].
  4. Mix the milk, sugar, curd, oil and essence together until well combined. I did this in my regular electric mixer. One or two churns and you will have a smooth white uniform mixture.
  5. Add the baking soda to this and mix. Set aside for a couple of minutes. [Tiny bubbles start appearing in the mixture]
  6. Pour this into the sifted flour and fold in the batter gently until no lumps remain.
  7. Add 1 tbsp of the tutti frutti and mix once or twice.
  8. Spoon the batter into the greased baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining tutti frutti over the batter.
  10. Tap the tin gently on the kitchen counter to level the batter and remove any large air bubbles.
  11. Bake in the pre heated oven at 180 C for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Once done the cake has a lovely golden brown top and starts to leave the edges of the tin.
  12. Invert on a wire rack after 5 minutes.
  13. Slice once the cake has completely cooled.

RECIPE NOTES

  • Oven temperature and time may vary. Check on your cake after 30-35 minutes of baking.
  • The pineapple essence may be replaced with vanilla. I simply love the pineapple-tutti frutti combo.
  • For making this 100% wholewheat , simply substitute the all purpose flour with the same amount of whole wheat flour. In this case sieving the ingredients a few more times will help make the cake lighter.
  • I love using cane sugar because it adds such a lovely flavour of its own. It is a variety of unrefined brown sugar. You can use regular sugar too.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Banana Loaf Cake

A moist whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake. This eggfree banana cake flavoured with a dash of cinnamon is perfect as a tea time snack. It is another special day. My youngest son’s first birthday. I wanted Adbhut’s first ever cake to be something he would enjoy. Here’s something with his favourite fruit. I am super happy about how this whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake turned out. It is simple, healthy and flavourful at the same time. My home smells all warm and ‘cinnamony’. It is often thought that whole wheat bakes are dense or taste ‘aata -like’. Try this. Its soft, moist and unless you tell its wholewheat no one would guess it. Recipe Cook Time            45 minutes Servings                1 loaf INGREDIENTS 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 and 1/2 tsps baking powder 2 tbsps Cocoa powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder {optional} 1/4 tsp salt 2 Ripe bananas { medium size} 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2

Mom’s Eggless Cake

  I have had this cake since I was 5. Mom would use the little round oven and we would keep peeking into the glass top to see the cake rising. The whole house would smell deliciously warm and I don’t think we ever waited for the cake to cool down, those warm slices would disappear within minutes. Everyone remembers their first bake. Mom’s recipe introduced me into the beautiful world of baking. This is and will always be my favourite recipe. This is perfect for beginners [I baked it when I was 14 and my almost 9 year old did it brilliantly 2 weeks back]. Can’t get simpler than this now, can it? Recipe    INGREDIENTS 2 cups All purpose flour 3/4 tsp Baking soda 1 cup Milk 1/2 cup   Oil 3/4 cup Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla essence INSTRUCTIONS Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. Beat the milk, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together till it turns into a white creamy mix. [or you can simply put all the ingredients in an electric mixer and give it a few whips] Sieve
