Tutti Frutti Cake

Eggless Tutti Frutti cake is a simple sponge cake baked with some colourful tuttifrutti. Perfectly suits for Christmas season. I have prepared this cake around 6 months before and the recipe was in the drafts section and the photos were unedited. So even after christmas it is okay posting this yummy tutti frutti cake. I have prepared eggless version, you could replace it with eggs for more spongy texture and flavour. Simple cake with less ingredients makes the job easy quick but appealing final results.
