One of my, now deceased, aunt’s stumbled upon an Orange Slice Cake recipe in the late 60’s & forsook her holiday fruit cake making in favor of the ease of the Orange Slice Cake. We all have loved it ever since & none of us miss the fruit cakes at all. Your Gumdrop Cake is pretty much the same idea & I can imagine it is scrumptious.
My Mom would make gumdrop during the holidays. But she always used the spiced gumdrops instead of the usual fruit-flavored ones. I was in Sprouts last week and they had a package of spiced gumdrops on the discount rack. So there is a gumdrop cake in my near future!
Gumdrops always equate Christmas to me 🥰🥰. I’ve never had a gumdrop cake!! I love it!! Sort of spice cake but with candy inside!! I’ve never made a cake recipe that called for mixing soda and water together! Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Kristi ❤️❤️
I have made this cake now twice. I used 1 1/2 cups unsweetened apple sauce, no raisins and 1 1/2 cups of Dots brand gumdrops. Fantastic both times!

I’ve heard of the orange slice cake my husband’s grandmother makes it too!

Looks fabulous and I bet the longer it sits the better flavor.
Looks delicious, I'm glad you made a video of this cake from your wonderful Christmas dinner💚💗💜💖

Mixing the soda and water together was new to me too. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
The ingredient list in the description is different than in the video for sugar, baking soda and a few other things.
I was wondering you mix the baking soda with hot water as apposed to just adding the soda to the dry ingredients?
I know that’s different but I was following the recipe exactly. Thanks for watching!
