1/2 lb. butter
1 8­oz. pkg. cream cheese
11/2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
21/4 cups flour
11/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
2 cups gum drops

Put 1/4 cup of the flour over the gum drops coating well. Beat the butter and the sugar, add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Beat in the cream cheese and the vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and gumdrops. Mix well. Put in a well­greased tube pan and bake at 325 F 70­80 minutes. Note: I use the sugared gum drops not the baking ones. The cream cheese in the recipe makes the cake very moist.
