Mmmmm, Gum Drop Cake

OK, I'm almost done with my letter for all to read . . . the drafts have been a big hit so far. I'm excited about the final product.

To satisfy your sweet tooth . . . I present to you one of the reasons my mom is awesome:

GUM DROP CAKE

Cream the following:
1 Cup Butter
1 1/2 Cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

After creaming, add:
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

The add:
1 cup of warm (fresh) milk

Mix all until well blended. Fold in 1 cup of gum drops (whole or halved).

Grease tube pan (with butter or PAM) and bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

Now I've just got to find gum drops in this city.

Grace.
