Make your tea time super fun and delicious with these Tutti Frutti Cake Rusk. This Indian tea rusk or biscotti with the goodness of tutti frutti is absolutely moreish and when paired with a cup of tea is just divine.
My love for rusk is undeniable. Tea time really feels incomplete with out some crunchy rusks. SO I make sure my canister is filled with twice baked Indian biscotti.
This time I added a whole lot of tutti frutti to give it a fun and yum twist. We loved it to bits. Those little frutti bits added so much flavour to the rusks. My parents, the Mr, my little boy everybody enjoyed it as it is or with a cuppa.
SO here is my 2nd post with tutti frutti. As I said in my previous post Karachi Biscuits (Tutti Frutti Biscuits) that I had asked my parents to get me just one thing from India and that was tutti frutti. I have been baking non stop with them. Biscuits, cake, rusks and many more. So keep an eye on the future posts if you are too a tutti-frutti fanatic like me. 😋
To make Cake rusks I baked a delicious cake first. Then I cut them into slices and further baked them in a lower temperature until they turn crisp and crunchy.
