Gumdrop Bread on Gumdrop Day

Were you aware that February 15 is the national holiday for the gumdrop? Me either until I was looking through some food trivia facts and stumbled onto the fact about gumdrops. Well to celebrate this day I thought it would be fun to honor the gumdrop with a recipe based around the gumdrom so here is a great recipe for gumdrop bread from Betty Crocker

2 1/2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour


1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup shortening

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

1 cup small gumdrop, cut in half

1/2 cup chopped nuts, if desired

  2. How exciting another holiday to celebrate with great baking. The bread looks delish, so do the cupcakes.
