Gumdrop Cake
Ingredients:
3/4 Cup butter
2 Cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 Cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Cup cold water
1 Cup gumdrops
Instructions:
1. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla.
2. Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt).
3. Add dry ingredients to butter/sugar mixture, alternating with cold water until both are combined.
4. Flour gumdrops with a tablespoon of flour. Stir into mixture.
5. Line cake pan with parchment.
6. Bake in oven at 325°F for 60 minutes. Place a pan of water beside cake to create moisture in your oven. Remove water bath and bake for 20-25 more minutes.
*I baked this in a 10 inch tube cake pan. You could also use a loaf pan but it will probably take a bit longer to cook- so you’ll have to adjust your baking time.
