About Britania tutti-frutti cake
We all have tasted Britania’s tutti-frutti cake sometime. It has a mixed fruit flavor and a very sweet taste due to sugar-coated tutti-frutti added to it. Here in this recipe, I have used wheat flour and sooji also cut down the sugar and tutti-frutti quantity to make it health-friendly. I have used vanilla, orange, and pineapple essence to mimic its flavor with Britania cake.
From where we can get tutti-frutti
To make the cake colorful, I have used mixed color tutti-frutti. These are easily available in the market even we can prepare these at home with raw papaya or watermelon peel.

What is the secret ingredient used to make this cake spongy and light
Whole wheat flour cakes are denser than all-purpose flour so to overcome this problem I have added sooji which makes the cake texture light and fluffy. The use of milk powder gives a sweet taste and smooth texture to the cake.
