People traditionally make cakes using plain flour or maida to achieve the desired texture. They have made many modifications to this recipe and prepared sooji cake in a saucepan without eggs.

I have always been a huge fan of rava or sooji-based sweets and snacks. I have already posted so many of those on my blog, and I will continue to do so in the future. Yet this rava or semolina cake recipe is very special. It is a combination of sooji halwa and a bread recipe, with the taste very familiar to halwa but the texture like bread. Moreover, the tutti frutti topping makes it even more interesting. Hence, I even call this recipe a tutti frutti rava cake or a tea-time cake. The sweetness level is mild compared to the icing-based cake, so it can be easily served as a dessert snack with your choice of beverage. In addition, you can make it and store it for a week to serve whenever you require it.

Furthermore, I would like to add some tips, suggestions, and variations to the rava cake recipe. Firstly, the recipe can be made with coarse or thick rava too, but I have used fine rava for this recipe. Basically, using a fine powder helps grind it easily into powder with minimal effort. Secondly, you may prepare it without any additional topping as the recipe is a rava cake. But I personally like something to crunch in between, and hence, tutti frutti, dry fruits, raisins, or any fruit pieces are an ideal choice. Lastly, you may follow the same steps to make a plain flour- or maida-based tea-time cake. You can also use a preheated oven, if you have one, for about 40-45 mins at 180 degrees.
