Instructions
To prepare the Eggless Tutti Frutti Cake, follow these steps:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This ensures that the cake bakes evenly.
-
Prepare the Loaf Tin: Grease a loaf tin with oil and dust it lightly with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
-
Sift the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, semolina, corn flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. This step aerates the flour and helps to create a light cake texture.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, condensed milk, sugar, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth.
-
Dust the Tutti Frutti: In a small bowl, sprinkle a little all-purpose flour over the tutti frutti. Toss them gently until they are lightly coated. This helps to distribute them evenly throughout the cake batter, preventing them from sinking to the bottom.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until combined. If the batter appears too thick, add milk as needed to reach the desired consistency.
-
Add Fruits and Vinegar: Gently fold in the dusted tutti frutti and raisins. Finally, add the white vinegar to the batter and mix until fully incorporated.
-
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and tap it gently to remove any air bubbles. If desired, sprinkle some crushed cardamom on top. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely for about an hour.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Eggless Tutti Frutti Cake and serve it warm or at room temperature, ideally with a cup of Masala Chai or Filter Coffee. This cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days, making it a great make-ahead treat.
