2 cups white sugar
4 eggs (drop one at a time and beat well before adding the next one)
1 cup warm milk
3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon
1 ½ lbs. gumdrops cut into chunks and floured with ½ cup flour.
Method:
Cream shortening and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time, beating well each time. Add liquid and dry ingredients alternately. Add floured gumdrops last. Spoon batter into a greased and lined tube pan. Bake 1 ½ - 2 hours at 350°F oven; cover with foil for first ½ hour. When cake is done, remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes in pan before turning out onto wired rack to cool completely. Wrap cake in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to retain moisture.
