Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour a small tube pan or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the flour mixture alternately with the warm milk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Toss the finely cut gumdrops with 1/4 cup of flour to prevent them from sinking during baking.
  7. Fold the floured gumdrops gently into the cake batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
