Ingredients:

• 1 cup diced muskmelon
• 2 pieces orange rind
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

• 6 drops edible food color
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup yoghurt (curd)
• 1/2 cup refined oil

Recipe :

• Step 1 Make tutti frutti

  To make the Tutti Frutti first boil finely chopped muskmelon and ginger in water for about 5 minutes and once done, drain out the extra water. Now add 1 cup sugar and water in the pan along with chopped muskmelon and allow this to boil for a few minutes till the melon becomes translucent. This will take 10-15 minutes. Strain this and divide it into 3 jars. Using food colouring red, yellow and green. Add 2 drops each in jars, stir gently and leave for 30 mins. Strain any remaining sugar syrup out & leave the tutti frutti to dry on some mesh for 24 - 36 hrs. Once dry, they can be stored in an air tight jar.

• Step 2 Prepare the cake batter

  To make the cake batter first beat 3/4 cup sugar and yoghurt together. Sift the flour, baking powder and soda together. Add 1 spoon grated orange rind, orange juice, vanilla essence, refined oil and the Tutti Frutti to the batter. Fold properly and pour into a buttered pan which has a strip of parchment at the bottom.

• Step 3 Bake the cake

  Fill the pan and add to a preheated oven and cook for about 40 mins. Once cooked, allow the cake to completely cool down. Run a knife around the sides and turn over and remove the parchment paper.

• Step 4 Garnish and serve

  Garnish the cake with white chocolate sauce, decorate with tutti frutti, chop into pieces and serve.
