Eggless tutti Frutti cake is a simple and easy to bake one which uses whole wheat flour and semolina that gives it a different texture to the whole cake. Tutti frutti gives it a vibrant color and flavour to the cake and you serve it warm with hot cup of chai.
Preheat oven to 375°F (or 190°C) within 10 minutes.
Grease with oil or butter (or spray with cooking spray) a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan and set aside.
Put milk into a large bowl, add the vinegar and let it be for about 10-15 minutes.
Incorporate the flour, baking powder, sugar salt & lemon zest into a bowl and mix well.
Into a small bowl, mix tutti frutti, raisins and about 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared flour mixture.
Mix well until every bit is coated with flour. This step actually hinders the tutti frutti into sinking into the bottom of the pan while baking the mixture.
Now, get your milk and vinegar mixture and check if it has curdled slightly. When you see that it has, then it’s perfect and ready.
Add the oil and vanilla extract and beat them well until well incorporated.
Using a sieve, sift your flour mixture directly into the wet mixture.
Beat until the ingredients are well mixed but use a spatula half-way through in order to avoid overbeating.
Add the tutti frutti and fold them using a spatula. Remember not to stir vigorously and let them fold gently until they are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and sprinkle with slivered almonds on top.
Bake it for about 50-55 minutes and to confirm that it is already cooked, try the toothpick method. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf and if it comes out clean, then it simply means that the cake is already ready.
Remove cake from oven and let it cool down a bit for about 10 minutes.
Loose the sides of the cake using a bread knife and put in into an upside-down position onto the cooling rack. Flip it back (still on the cooling rack) and let it cool down completely.
