Today I’m sharing the recipe for Eggless Tutti Frutti Cake. I prefer tea cakes over frosted cakes, however, that wasn’t always the same….as a teenager or for that matter even in my early twenties…I had a great love for all things Chocolate. This included a major drool situation for a Chocolate cake with a hearty slathering of chocolate frosting 😍😍😍😍😍 I just couldn’t resist them!

This Eggless Tutti Frutti Cake is just perfect! Over the last few years, I have begun to appreciate other flavors which are slightly milder and yet so amazingly delicious. Tea cakes are one of them. If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know what I am talking about. Simple, moist sponges are my go to cakes for any occasion. Besides, they are so easy to put together😊😊. This one has no butter, no eggs! 👌🏼 

You must try these,

Banana Muffins/ bundt

Chocolate Peanut Butter banana bread  (egg free)

and many more….click here. I have a few pressure cooker cake recipes on the blog too, look for them in the archives😊 What I find particularly comforting about such light tea-cakes is that they don’t weigh you down and there always room for another slice 🤗. Oh, not to forget…how easy they can be for experimenting with new flavors!

This recipe is just as easy and calls for yogurt instead of eggs. As most of my readers look for egg free options, I try to keep their needs in mind. However, if you wish replace the yogurt in this cake, just take out the yogurt and instead add 1 large egg. Also, minus the baking soda if working with egg in this recipe. It will turn into a beautiful cake ☺️

Why I like using yogurt over hot water or even sour cream….it’s because the taste of sour cream is slightly too tart for our liking whereas using yogurt makes just as moist a cake as the sour cream one. And besides, let’s be honest….most would prefer going for the yogurt as it’s readily available in nearly every Indian household and there’d be no need to bother to go find sour cream.

I love practical recipes! The one’s where I just peek into my pantry and come out with a big pile of everyday ingredients to make something delicious! This recipe is one such 😍 Spontaneous is my middle name….I hate having to plan a list of groceries specific to what I plan to share here on the blog unless it’s something that was on my bucket list for a while 😂

Isn’t the texture just awesome! This cake literally melts in the mouth…and I make it nearly every fortnight! But never was able click even one decent picture as I usually bake this in the evenings just before the mister gets back from work…so that he can have a slice of warm goodness with his cuppa 😍

So getting on with the recipe…

Preheat the oven @ 180’c. Line the baking tin with the parchment paper. Set this aside.

Now, take yogurt, sugar, baking soda, baking powder in a mixing bowl. Stir these ingredients together for a minute. Leave it aside for a couple of minutes to let the baking soda work with the acidity of the yogurt. The mixture will become little frothy after a few minutes.

Now, add the oil and vanilla extract to this frothy yogurt mixture. Whisk well to make a lumpfree mixture. Next, sift in the flour. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Do not beat or whisk the batter. Once the flour is well incorporated, add the tutti Frutti bits and fold them into the batter. (Tip: Add milk only if the batter is too thick else skip it).

Now, pour the batter into the ready tin and sprinkle some tutti Frutti on top of the batter too.

Bake the cake @180’c for about 30-35 mins using the lower heating elements/ rods. Once the cake is baked, insert a toothpick in the centre of the cake to check readiness. The toothpick must come out with a few moist crumbs. If the cake is under cooked, bake for a further 5 mins.

Remove the ready cake from the oven and place the tin on the cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely before unmoulding and slicing. This cake stays fresh in an airtight container for about 3-4 days.

  1. Hi. I followed ur recipe. Instead of yogurt i tuk one large egg. But tge mixture was not smooth enough to pour in the baking tray.

    • It should have been smooth. You can add some milk, about a tbsp or 2 and see if it becomes smooth.
      Sometimes the batter is not very smooth but if you give it a gentle mix for a couple of minutes it can become nice. Try to bake the cake and see the result

  2. I tried but my cake was not spongy at the bottom though it looked perfectly spongy and the tooth pick came out clean .. what could be wrong ?

    • Hi Sukanya, although I have never baked in an MW (convection) oven, I can only suggest you bake at 180’c for about 25-30 mins but keep an eye on the cake after the first 20 mins to see the colour and how it’s rising. Hope it works.

  3. I love tea time cakes and one with tutti fruiti is also prefect for kids lunch box.
    Love your photography 😍😍

    • Yes Afroz, it’s just the perfect bake for any occasion!! Sure, kids love this so much…. Aww! thanks for making my day Afroz 🙂

  4. I love tutti fruiti cake but I don’t find tutti fruiti here in the store. I will give it a try with some cashews may be.

    • Oh! Aish, you can try adding cashews for sure. Also, some dried cranberries and a bit of sultanas would work nicely. Thanks for stopping by dear 🙂

    • Hi Monice,
      Yes, you can bake this in a pressure cooker for approximately 40-45 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check the doneness after it’s baked.

  5. Hi there. I loved your recipe. I tried last noght and I loved the moist texture but I tasted little bit aftertaste of baking soda. Is there anyway to fix that🤔

    • Hi Swati, thanks for trying the recipe.
      You can add an extra few drops of vanilla if you find the aftertaste of baking soda. I’ve never found this aftertaste but not to worry, vanilla can solve the problem.

  6. Hi Shreya,

    Please do let me know the size of the cup you have used…200 ml /230 ml or any other. TIA

  7. I tried dis recipe yesterday nd it was too yummy..not a single piece left for another day..so next time i m planning to triple d quantity.. so can u say..how long can i keep dem fresh at room temperature nd for how many days i can store it in refrigerator??

    • Sweta, thanks a ton! That sounds like fun.. I love it when the bakes disappear😀
      Yes, make a larger batch. Should stay fresh in room temperature for 2-3 days as it’s hot and humid in India. You can refrigerate for 5 days wrapped in cling wrap and heat the slices in microwave for just 10-15 seconds before serving, it will be as good as fresh!

  8. Hi , what if i want to use cake mix , does the procedure remains same . Only yoghurt and oil will do ? Or it cant be made with cake mix . I wanted to know, and i love all your recepies and blog !!😃

  9. I regularly make dis recipe of urs..every1 is getting addicted to dis tea cake..Thnx a TON..with lots of love nd good wishes
