Tips
• If you do not have buttermilk, then use ¾ cup yogurt + ¼ cup water, whisk it and use.
• You can use chopped dry fruits instead of Tutti-Frutti or raisins or just skip it to make it without all these.
• Do not add too much milk in glaze, otherwise it will be hard to set. If it’s thick, then warm up little bit in microwave, so it would be pourable.
• Decorating cake is optional, you can skip it or décor it with your choice, like fresh chopped fruits or edible sprinkles, etc.
