Eggless whole wheat Tutti Frutti Cake

This Valentine B gifted me an Morphy Richards OTG and I am loving it :).This was on my wish list from last one year. Until now I used to bake cake in pressure cooker and was happy with the final outcome, but my OTG is making me even more happier when I am seeing the final outcome. The first thing that I baked in this was an egg-less tutti frutti cake, so that every one in the family can enjoy :) To make this cake extra healthy I used whole wheat flour along with multi purpose flour(maida).

Ingredients:

• 1 cup multipurpose flour / maida
• 1 cup milk powder
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup refined oil
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2tsp bakign soda.
• 3 tsp colored tutti frutti

Steps by step recipe for Tutti Frutti Cake:

• Sift wholewheat flour, maida, baking powder and baking soda together thrice.
• Mix milk, powdered sugar and refined oil well till light.
• Add mix flour to milk mix in three stages.
• Take care not to make batter too runny or thin.
• Add tutti frutti to batter.
• Note: Dust tutti frutti with little flour before adding it to the batter. So, that it doesn't get settled on the bottom of the cake
• Grease cake pan with oil and dust some flour to make sure cake comes out easily.
• Pre-heat the oven to 250 C.
• Put batter into the prepared cake pan and bake at 180 C for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Check if cake is ready by inserting a toothpick or knife into the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is done.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool.
• Once it's cool down you can easily remove it from the cake pan.
• Enjoy this soft, crumble cake.
