Gumdrop Loaf

 

A great tasting Gumdrop Loaf

enhanced with the flavour of coconut.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter softened

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

1/2 cup milk

2 cups gumdrops

(omit black)

1 cup sweetened

flaked coconut

I used large gumdrops in this recipe

that I bought at the grocery store.

Cut them up and rolled them in

flour to keep them separated.

Use some of the 2cups of flour 

measured above.

If you use extra flour, the

loaf will be too dry. 

Baking gums are also available

in certain bulk stores.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350deg.F

Grease a 9x5 loaf pan,

lined with parchment paper.

In a bowl, with a mixer,  beat sugar 

and butter until light and creamy.

Add in eggs & vanilla and beat until fluffy.

In a separate bowl, stir together the 

flour,  baking powder and salt.

Gradually add the flour mixture into 

the sugar mixture alternating with the 

milk until mixture is smooth.

Stir in the gumdrops and 

coconut until well combined.

Spoon mixture into the prepared baking pan.

Bake 350deg.F for 1 1/4 hrs. or

 until tester in centre comes out clean.

Do not overbake.

Let cool in pan for 5 minutes.

Turn out and cool on wire rack completely

Dust with icing sugar.

Enjoy!!
