If you are of Indian origin, I think you will feel the same way I feel about tutti frutti (it's candied peel for Americans). To me it brings back a lot of wonderful (sweet) memories of enjoying the summer vacation and special occasions with tutti frutti cake and ice cream.

One of my most favorite childhood eats was the milk cakes studded with these itsy bity pieces of tutti frutti. Long train journeys and short road trips where never complete without these cakes in our family. It was a tradition to buy a packet or two of these cakes while packing for the trip.These cakes came in a lot of flavors, were soft, buttery and had a melt-in-your mouth texture. It tastes and feels more or less like a pound cake. Never did I think that I would be baking one of these tutti frutti cake myself.I have been looking for these cakes in the Indian stores here for sometime now but couldn't find it. So I thought why not give it a try and bake an eggless tutti frutti cake at home. I searched for tutti frutti cake recipes in Google and it showed a lot of recipes from my fellow Indian bloggers.After looking at a couple of recipes I decided to use this recipe as a base and mix in the tutti frutti and the result was stunning. Tutti Frutti Pound Cake

I already have an eggless pound cake recipe here, in which I have used silken tofu to replace the eggs and felt that the cake was quite dense.I would have tried using part silken tofu and part yogurt like in this strawberry cream cake recipe which turned out perfect, but I didn't have silken tofu at home.So I decided to use a combination of yogurt and homemade applesauce recipe. The tutti frutti cake did turn out well but I'm thinking that the silken tofu and yogurt combination will be more perfect. Can't wait to try that tutti frutti cake recipe one of these days.Recipe

Hi Madhuram , I tried the tutti fruity cake and it was very tasty. However, after taking out from the oven it sank a little. I baked it for 55 mins and I believed I should hv baked it longer. The cake itself is very very moist. I hv a function to attend and was planning to make double the amount. What size cake tin should I use and how long should I bake it for?
Also do you hv a recipe for vegan baked cheese cake?

  Mixing the batter too much will also make the cake sink. If you want to double the amount bake it in a 13x9 inch pan. Sorry, I don't have a vegan cheesecake recipe yet.

  Mm..this is actually a plain cake. But if you want to frost, I think probably buttercream frosting.

Hi Madhuram.
Made this cake several times now with soaked mixed dried fruits ..its a winner, rather you are the winner!!
Tried the tofu version too but i prefer to keep the applesauce. I didn't add any sugar as i dried fruits are sweet enough.
Normally my husband doesn't like cakes but since i started baking with your recipes, he's now loving them.
Thanks again n again for your wonderful recipes Madhuram.

Hi Madhuram
This cake looks yummy and would like to make it but i only have Nuttelex butter spread (never found vegan butter stick here). So do you think oil would work instead in this recipe? And if yes, how much can i use? Thank you for your reply and thank you lots for sharing your beautiful recipes.

  You're welcome Maddie. I'm thinking about 1/2 cup of oil should work.

I used Pillsbury cake mix
replaced 1/2 cup oil with 1/4 cup oil and 1/2 cup applesauce
replaced 3 whole eggs with 1/2 cup plain yogurt..
The cake was spongy and crumbless...
Thank you!!!

Hi Sister, Last week I did the vanilla cake. It was marvelous. My family enjoyed eating the cake and they requested me to do it again. Next time I want to try this Tutti Frutti Cake. I can't wait to try and taste this cake.

Hi! When you say cups, what size do you refer to? I have never baked with cups before and always use a weighing scale (I'm from the UK!)

  It's the standard baking size cups we use in North America. I have a conversion chart that you can check. http://www.egglesscooking.com/baking-101/baking-measurements/
