They are colorful dried papaya bits. Some people also make it from candied berries. It take baking to the next level. Tutti frutti recipe makes my day. You can make an eggless tutti frutti cake with wheat flour too or just make bread. Make a pineapple or mango tutti frutti cake if you do not like vanilla. Make tutti frutti cup cakes with egg or eggless tutti frutti muffins. They are spongy too. Make biscotti, buns, bread or yummy ice cream too. We love baking with them. I always end up eating so many raw, while baking them. I think I eat it more than my bub.
Childhood memories
Bread and cakes has been an integral part of Mumbai culture. Countless cups of Irani chai at Goodluck café. Talking for hours with my best friend near Mt Mary. So magical. Ah what days! Down south too, bakeries always served fresh food. I loved going to Iyengar bakeries. Best part was they were eggless. Hot trays of Dilkhush buns, cake or Dilpasand and patties lined small shops. Some of us have always loved the britannia tooty fruity cake. I always remember carrying fruit cake with me during travel. We would travel for 2 days to reach central India from South. Hence, there was always a big snack bag. Loved all the goodies mum packed.Step-by-step tutty fruity cake recipe
