Tutti Frutti Cake

What will you do when you lose your voice temporarily ? Well, I got so depressed, because when I talk I don't get tired , I get more excited and energized :) However, my voice box decided not to work and it has been 3 days!!! Mr. G is happy as the noise level of our home has come down and Miss I is wondering , why her mom is unusually silent while bathing her.

So I decided to do a lot more activities at home and work, so that it can utilize the resting energy :) I was so craving for a tutti frutti cake and decided that, this is the right time to bake one. We didn't have enough time to purchase baking molds and I was wondering , whether to go for any alternate baking methods. That's when Mr G decided to surprise me with some cake molds and muffin cups :) It was really a surprise, I could never guess when he took longer time to get back from grocery purchase nor when he mentioned he is driving while a worried me called him. So here is for all of you , the tutti frutti cake recipe with lots of love and yes Mr G did help me in the making.
