GUMDROP CAKE
Gumdrops stud the surface of this domed cake. Icing is piped out in starburst dots. You can't go wrong -- just start piping at the bottom and work your way up.

Steps:
- One-Bowl Chocolate Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-inch round cake pans and one 8-inch stainless-steel bowl, and line bottoms with parchment; butter parchment, and dust with cocoa.
- Into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, stir in eggs, 1 1/2 cups warm water, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Divide batter among prepared pans and bowl. Bake, rotating once, until tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes for 8-inch layers and 50 to 55 minutes for bowl.
- Let cakes cool on wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove and cool completely, right side up on rack. Cakes can be made in advance and stored up to 1 day in refrigerator. They can be stored 1 week in the freezer.
- Swiss Meringue Buttercream: Beat butter with electric mixer until fluffy and pale. Transfer to small bowl.
- In double boiler over simmering water, whisk sugar and egg whites until warm and sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to clean bowl of electric mixer; beat on high with whisk attachment until fluffy and cooled, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce mixer to medium-low; add butter a scant 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
- Switch to paddle attachment; beat on lowest speed 3 to 5 minutes. Leave at room temperature if using same day. Or store airtight in refrigerator up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature; beat until smooth.
- With serrated knife, trim the tops of layers that were baked in cake pans to be level. Brush excess crumbs away. Place bottom layer on a cake round, and use an offset spatula to evenly spread 1 1/4 cups buttercream on top. Trim the uneven top away from the layer that was baked in the bowl.
- Add domed layer, cut side down, and spread 1 1/2 to 2 cups buttercream in thin layer over entire cake to seal in crumbs. Transfer assembled and crumb-coated cake to refrigerator, and chill 30 to 40 minutes, or until buttercream is firm. For best piping consistency, keep the remaining buttercream at room temperature.
- Transfer cake to rotating cake stand for easy decorating, or place on inverted cake pan to elevate. Fill pastry bag, fitted with #6B tip, with remaining buttercream. Starting at bottom of cake, pipe 1 1/4-inch stars around the base, then add stars in horizontal rows up sides and across top to completely cover cake.
- Place one gumdrop in the center of each buttercream star, creating a colorful pattern around the cake. Chill completed cake at least one hour before serving so buttercream is firm and set.
GUMDROP CAKE
I don't use baking gums for this. Those things are horrid. If you wouldn't eat them right out of the bag, don't bake with them. Don't use any black ones. Ganong are the best-they don't make black ones. The easiest way to cut them is with scissors dipped in flour.

GUMDROP CAKE
This one is a keeper. My mom used to make this for me every x-mas because I didn't like fruit cake. I asked her for the recipe but she couldn't find it so I came up with this one after a bit of experimentation, I think I nailed it because this one is probably better than the one she made. All the measurements are the way I make it but they can be changed to suit your taste. This one is really easy to make.

Steps:
- Using a pastry cutter or fork or whatever you''ve got combine the sugars and butter together until they are like crumbs. (You can use all white or all brown sugar if you like.).
- Combine the eggs and vanilla with the sugar mixture.
- Take about 1/4 cup of your flour and coat your gumdrops so they do not sink to the bottom of your cake. Use the remaining flour for the next step.
- Sift the remaining flour,salt,spices,baking soda and baking powder together.
- With a mixer or by hand add your flour mixture and milk to the egg and sugar mixture until well mixed. I let it mix for several minutes with the electric mixer.
- Add your gumdrops to the mixture and combine by hand as the gumdrops tend to get beat up with the electric mixer.
- Add mixture to 2 loaf pans or one bundt pan that has been greased and floured.
- Put in oven preheated to 300F for about 2 hrs.Test with toothpick to see if it is done.(wet toothpick not done, dry done)
- Note: Do not fill your pan more than 3/4 full as these cakes do rise.
- I have found that the gumdrops do not sink in the cake but they don't rise with the cake either. Try saving a few of the gumdrops and putting them on top of the cake and just pushing them in after you have put the batter in the pan.
- Experiment with the flavors. I found some fruit flavored gummies that are excellent in this recipe. I've also seen wine gummies that I plan to try in my next cake.The spices that I listed are what I like. You may not have the same taste so don't be afraid to add more or subtract some. I have made these with out some of the spices listed and they turned out great.
- If you find your cake is getting too dark before your cooking time is up you can cover the top with tinfoil or brown paper for the last 1/2 hour of cooking.
- These cakes freeze well and just seem to get better after sitting well wrapped in a cool pantry for a week or two.
- Enjoy.

EASY GUMDROP CAKE
In lieu of fruit cakes we like to give these to friends. Most of the preparation time is in chopping the gumdrops. If you can find miniatures, you'll be way ahead. We omit the black gumdrops.
