Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Sugar
- 0.5 cups Butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.75 cups Tutti frutti (candied fruit mix)
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting the tutti frutti)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, toss the tutti frutti with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with milk in two parts, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the coated tutti frutti using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the tutti frutti cake as a dessert or snack. Enjoy!
