BAKE THE TUTTI FRUTTI VEGAN SNACK CAKE
- Pour the tutti frutti cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1 tbsp tutti frutti and some cashews on top.
- Bake at 350 degree F for 35 to 40 minutes or until a inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- To get a flat top, put a handful of ice cubes in a small baking tin and place it in the lowest rack, just before you begin baking the cake. The moisture from the melting ice, helps the cake bake evenly, resulting in a flat top.
- Never over mix your batter.
- Also never open the oven door during baking. If you keep opening the oven door, you will let some of the heat out, which will lower the temperature inside, causing the cake to collapse.
- If you use a dark cake tin, lower the temperature to 325 degrees F, so that the cake bakes slowly and evenly. I have used a lighter pan and that why baked at 350 degrees F.
- Always spoon the flour into the cup until it overflows, then level it off with a knife. This will ensure that you have the right amount of flour
- If you plan to use whole wheat flour, then I recommend using whole wheat pastry flour or including equal proportions of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.
- Skip sugar in the recipe and easily make it with jaggery or coconut sugar or palm sugar. But keep in mind that with these sugars the taste and flavor will be different.
- To make the tutti frutti cake less sweet, you can add ½ or ⅔ cup of sugar if you prefer.
