Eggless tutti frutti cake, How to make tutti frutti cake without eggs

By swasthi , on June 18, 2019, 59 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Eggless tutti frutti cake recipe – Wishing all the readers a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. This soft, moist and delicious eggless tutti frutti cake is one of the easiest I have baked in the recent times. Tutti frutti cake is quite popular in the Indian bakeries. It is a favorite among kids and is loved for its colorful appearance & sweet flavor.

eggless tutti frutti cake

This tutti frutti cake is very light, moist & is a fail proof recipe that has been tried by me many times. This can be baked even by a beginner or a kid.

This recipe uses milk and an acidic ingredient – lemon juice or vinegar which reacts with the soda and lends a very light & airy texture.

Tutti frutti cake can be made using any basic cake recipe with some tutti fruttis added to the batter. The tuti fruiti mix I have used also had the citrus peels so I have not added any extra flavorings.

tutti frutti cake

If yours does not have the citrus peels, you will have to add 1 tsp of lemon zest or orange zest. You can also add some fruit essence or spice powders like cardamom, nutmeg or cinnamon to get your favorite flavors.

Tutti fruttis are colored bits of raw papaya. They are not my thing to use regularly. So I usually make this cake with the same amount of nuts & raisins added to it.

For a healthier version you can check this Eggless Fruit cake made with atta, nuts and mixed dried fruits.

I have baked this cake in Oven. If you do not oven a oven, then you can also bake it in a cooker following this Cooker cake recipe post.

Preparation for tutti frutti cake

1. Grease a loaf pan or cake pan. I have used a 8.5 by 4.5 inch loaf pan. You can also use a 7 or 8 inch cake pan. Line a parchment paper. If not using parchment paper then dust some flour all over the pan and shake off the excess by inverting it. Preheat the oven to 170 C for at least 15 mins.

Grease a loaf pan

2. Measure tutti fruttis to a bowl. Sprinkle 1 tbsp flour and coat them well.

3. Mine also had the citrus peels so I did not add lemon or orange zest. If yours does not have then add in the lemon zest or orange zest to the fruit mix. Keep mixing well until all the flour is absorbed.

Keep mixing

4. Add lemon juice or vinegar to the milk. I used room temperature milk.

5. Mix well. You will see the milk begins to curdle. Set this aside.

Dear Swasthi, My humble gratitude to you for sharing this recipe. My cake was little too dense, not sure is that’s how it is meant to be. Is it the oil ? Also, I find it too sweet – maybe because I have given up sugar for sometime now! Can I reduce the sugar content!
Also, I follow many recipes from your website and find it just apt for my cooking style. Thanks again and take care

Hi Swetha,
No it should be very light like a sponge cake. I only guess it has something to do with the measurements. Either more flour or less water is used. Give another try. I am not sure if it works well with lesser sugar. Sometimes using less sugar affects the moisture levels and makes a dry cake. Thanks for following the recipes. Hope this helps

Hi.. Powdered sugar or normal sugar? In India usually the sugar crystals are slightly bigger and not the fine variety. Is that ok to use? And same quantity?

Hi,
Use the same amount of granulated sugar (larger crystals). You will have to dissolve the sugar with the liquid ingredients before mixing with the flour. If you want to powder, measure the sugar first and then powder. Hope this helps

Sunita,
Glad to know your chocolate cake turned out good. Below another Sunitha’s comment you have already posted the same above comment twice. No problem at all! Yes the recipe says to bake for 40 to 45 mins. If your cake has turned sticky/ gluey it means the batter is overmixed. You should mix it only until combined. Hope this helps

Hi Srivani,
Yes you can use wheat flour but the flavor will be different. Usually kids don’t like wheat flour in cakes. However you may try. You may need 2 tbsps more water than what I mentioned in the recipe. I use yellow butter so the cake turns out yellow. If you use white butter the color will be lighter. Skip it if you don’t have. Hope this helps.

Hi Sunitha,
I am doing good! Thank you!. I make this cake with larger sweet raisins. These are not the Indian variety. They are larger in size, taste sweet and not completely dry or hard like the Indian varieties. So they need not be soaked. Based on that I don’t think you need to soak. Soaking them may add more moisture to the batter. Not sure! I think you should try without soaking first. Have you checked this fruit cake. I suggest you check that since it is a healthier version made with wheat flour. You can also use jaggery. Hope this helps.

Baking time depends on the pan size and not on the quantity of batter or ingredients. To double this recipe, you will need to use a 9 inch pan. If you tell me the size of your pan I can help you further.

Hiii… I regularly use recipes from websites such as yours but never leave a comment after trying it out… But this one, i HAD to..! The recipe is soooo effortless! I didn’t have any eggs and hence decided to make this version.. I was apprehensive after mixing the milk with vinegar.. I even thought of throwing it because the milk split and i was worried it’ll spoil the cake.. But anyway i went through the process and the cake turned out delicious!! Thank u for this awesome post!!!!!

Hi Deepthi
You are welcome. Glad to know the cake turned out delicious. I have mentioned in the step by step pic instructions that the milk will begin to curdle. I guess you haven’t noticed it. The cake turns out soft and light even without the egg since the curdled milk will react with soda and releases air bubbles in the batter. Thanks a lot for the comment.

January 9, 2018 11:03 am

Hi Vyshnavi
1 cup (240 ml) all purpose flour is 120 to 125 grams, so 1.5 cups is about 187 to 190 grams. Before measuring, you must always fluff up the flour in container with a fork. Then spoon the flour to the measuring cup. Level with a spatula. If you directly put the measuring cup into the container and level the cup then it will be more as you mentioned which is not the accurate way of measuring. Hope this helps.
