Tutti Fruity Cake

Celebrated my daughter, Saesha's monthly birthday with this simple yet delicious vanilla cake. The cake is packed with nutty goodness and best part is that it doesn't require any additional icing or makeup ;)

I followed the  recipe of  Garima Sarolia Narera (a fellow member of a facebook group) . Like all her recipes, this recipe is also perfect and beautifully explained for any novice, to follow easily. Here is the link of her recipe.


Ingredients :

Maida - 1 cup + 1 tsp

Baking powder - 1 tsp
Eggs - 2
Powdered Sugar - 1 cup
Butter - 80 grams
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Tutti fruity- 1 cup
Almonds - 8 to 10
Milk - 1 Tbsp

Pre-Preparation :

1. Sliver the almonds.
2. Butter , milk and eggs should be kept at room temperature.
3. Preheat the oven at 180 C.
4. Grease a baking dish with butter and line it with baking /parchment paper.
5. Sift the flour and baking powder together at least thrice .
6. Coat the tutti fruity with the additional 1 tsp flour so that the nuts don't sink.

Preparation :

1. In a bowl, add the butter and sugar. Whisk it until the mixture becomes light and fluffy( 5-6 minutes using an electric blender). The mixture will turn white.
2. Add the eggs and whisk again.
3. Add the vanilla essence and whisk .
4. Fold in the flour and baking powder mix very lightly using a wooden spoon or spatula.
5. Add milk.
6. Add the tutti fruity and mix once.
7. Now pour the batter in a greased tin and sprinkle almond slivers on top.
8. Bake it at 180 degrees for 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy and  Happy Cooking !!!
