Ingredients

  • 1 package (about 2 cups) gumdrops, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

  5. 5

    Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until well blended.

  6. 6

    Gently fold in the chopped gumdrops.

  7. 7

    Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  8. 8

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.

Chef's tip

Ensure to chop gumdrops coarsely to prevent them from sinking during baking. You can dust them lightly with flour before folding into the batter.
