Eggless Tutti Frutti Cake

I am happy to share my 500th post in my blogging journey and in this moment I like to thank all my readers and followers for the encouragement.And a special thanks to Valli for the wonderful Blogging Marathon event.Blogging marathon event with the different themes make me to achieve this mile stone.
Coming to the recipe,in my eggless cakes series for the Blogging Marathon #51,sharing another yet simple and colorful cake with tutti frutti.This cake was in my to do list since the time I bookmarked it from Chitra's blog.
This is super soft and spongy cake with the crunch of tutti frutti.If you want you can add some chopped nuts and raisins,but here I used only tutti frutti.
This recipe uses yogurt and it should be fresh and room temperature.As I was not sure about how sour the yogurt was so used 3/4 cup and 1/3 cup of milk.The cake came out super soft and everybody liked it.As the weather was very bad on the day I made,the clicks are not good as I expected,will update it.Also,share orange flavored eggless tutti frutti cake with condensed milk soon.. Lets move onto the recipe..........................................
