Week 87: Rawa Tutti Frutti Cake

Today I baked a rawa Tutti Frutti cake with my grandmother in India. It was a fun experience and an opportunity to try a new recipe!

Rawa is also known as semolina flour. So, not only does the cake not contain any gluten, but it also doesn’t contain eggs.

This cake is very easy to make and is perfect for a sweet breakfast or afternoon snack. It tastes great when served with tea.

You can omit the Tutti Frutti, but if you can find it in an Indian grocery store, I recommend adding it. The Tutti Frutti adds a burst of flavor.
