Tutty fruity are my kids favorite in cakes & buns,I think many other moms would also agree to this.I remember me also as a kid loved to pick these colorful bits from buns and cakes.Usually plum cakes in Kerala use the tutty fruity in them but this is a very light tea cake which can be made simple.I have used wheat flour in this to avoid all purpose flour.If you use all purpose flour it enhances the look of tutty fruity in the cake more.The texture is more of dense in nature but a filling cake.Perfect for kids evening snack !!
