steamed Sponge Cake recipe - super soft Tuti fruti cake

tuti fruti cake

This delicate sponge cake with the sweet bite of tutti fuiti pieces makes it hard to resist the treat!

Tutti fruitis, meaning, ‘all fruits’ in Italian, are usually chopped candid fruits. Their rich red and green colours and subtle fruity flavours contribute to a very tempting look on ice creams, jellies or cakes.

The best news about this cake is that it is steamed in the rice cooker, not baked in the oven like conventional cakes, which collectively account for its irresistible, spongy texture. You can use the usual steamer too, but if you have a rice cooker, the process is so much easier, as you just have to pour water, close the lid and set the “COOK” button on. In less than 30 mins, your juicy cake will be ready to devour!

  • Your cake is ready!
