For this week Bake-A-Thon,I am sharing a simple,eggless snack cake with nuts and tutty frutty.I have already shared a version of tutty frutty cake.But this version I tried from Pavani's blog,which I have bookmarked last year.I made this cake couple of times after she shared in it the blog but I never get a chance to click the pictures.Finally I made the cake yesterday and clicked it for the blog.
In the original recipe oil is used but here I used both oil and butter,also used the brown sugar.This cake is a perfect for kids snack box or evening snack with a cup of tea or coffee.This cake doesn't need any special preparation and its so easy to make.Off to the recipe...........
