Prepare the cake tin by spreading a little butter all around the tin and then add little flour and spread it to all sides uniformly.  Knock off the excess flour

Or you can line the tin with a butter paper/parchment paper

Beat the butter for 2 to 3 minutes and add powdered sugar to it

Beat until it becomes fluffy

Add 1 egg at a time and beat well.

It should become light and airy

Add vanilla essence and combine

Now add flour and milk in batches and make a smooth batter

Add flour coated tutti frutti to the cake batter

Gently fold in using a spatula

Pour the batter to the prepared cake tin.  Here i have used 2 small cake tins.

Sprinkle few tutti frutti on top

Place the cake tins in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes

Insert a wooden skewer in the middle and check. If it comes out clean then the cake is ready

Remove from oven and let it cool

Once the cake is cooled well remove from cake tin

Let it cool for some more time

Cut and serve with a cup of tea or coffee

Note:

Baking time may vary depending on the oven, so adjust it accordingly
As i have added more tutti frutti i reduced the amount of sugar.  But if you wish to you can increase the amount of the sugar to one and one fourth cup or more.
