Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9 x 4 inch loaf pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick during baking.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, water, sunflower oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together until well-blended. Set this mixture aside.
-
Sift the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the whole wheat flour to ensure there are no lumps. Add the brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the flour and whisk them together to combine thoroughly.
-
Add Tutti Frutti: Gently fold in the tutti frutti into the dry ingredients. This adds a burst of color and sweetness to the cake.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
-
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Cool the Cake: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve: Once cooled, slice the Eggless Whole Wheat Tutti Frutti Cake and serve it as a delightful dessert after a meal or as a tasty tea-time snack alongside a hot cup of masala chai.
Tips & Variations
- Substitute the Oil: If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute sunflower oil with coconut oil for a slight coconut flavor.
- Customize the Fruit: You can customize the tutti frutti by using dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots for a different twist.
- Add Spices: For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the batter.
