For a more intense lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the batter. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits for the raisins, such as dried cranberries or chopped dates. To prevent the gumdrops from sticking together while chopping, lightly dust them with powdered sugar. Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.
03
Step
2 mins
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. (2 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. (2 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the warm water. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. (5 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
In a small bowl, toss the chopped gumdrops and raisins with the remaining 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking. (3 minutes)
07
Step
3 mins
Gently fold the floured gumdrops and raisins, along with the lemon and vanilla extracts, into the cake batter. (3 minutes)
08
Step
1 mins
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread evenly. (1 minute)
09
Step
1 hrs 30 mins
Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent the cake with aluminum foil. (90 minutes)
10
Step
15 mins
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)
