I am going to bake that cake this week I have all the stuff to make it it looks so delicious can't wait to do it thank you beautiful lady you got talent girl God bless you with that I appreciate you very much Bonita
You are very welcome and I'm so glad to help, this is a lovely cake and if you don't like coconut you can leave it out. It's that time of year when I will be getting ready to bake my cakes for Christmas. It's hard to believe October is gone already, its been a nice fall, enjoy Joy and thank you for stopping by its always nice to hear from you...... :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen I love coconut and I like hearing from you God bless you and your husband you have a great day sweetheart take care and may God above watch over you your husband and your family take care
Bonita I grew up with gumdrop cake every Christmas and my grandmother would make me a Barbie doll cake for my birthdays. I recall all my friends we're blown away not only buy the Barbie cake but when you cut inside and all the pretty coloured gumdrops inside the cake. She used to icing it with almond flavoured icing I have her recipe basically the same only she adds cream cheese in her cake batter. I like the idea of coconut I would like to try that. It is my very favourite cake only we used the sugary soft gumdrops and had to flower the knife and the board to get them all cut up LOL. It was worth the time. If anyone is using the sugar gumdrops don't put the black in the cake it will dye your cake just a FYI. Bonita thank you so much for sharing
Hi Katie: You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by and sharing your wonderful memories of your grandmother with us. That was so sweet and thats what its all about, having these recipes from years ago do bring back wonderful childhood memories for sure. I most keep your recipe tips about the cream cheese added to the batter, plus don't use the black sugar gumdrops. :) Enjoy and have a lovely day. :) Bonita
Yes Ruby, thats what I love about this recipe it works for any type of berry, cherries, gumdrops, date or plain white pound cake. Good for any occasion....:) Enjoy Bonita
Hi Lisa: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel, we are so glad you enjoyed our video and recipe for Gumdrop coconut cake. :) Bonita
Hi Anne: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel, your grandkids would love this one for sure. I have more christmas cakes on our website and here on youtube, cheery cake, dark rum fruit cake, plum pudding, christmas fruit bread, boiled raisin cake, and so much more. Visit www.bonitaskitchen.com for more recipe ideas. Enjoy Bonita
Dear Bonita, I have made the cake and it sure didn’t last long, the grandchildren loved it as did I. My husband doesn’t like coconut, could I omit the coconut and still use the same amounts in the recipe. I think your recipes are just grand.
Aww! That is so wonderful, thank you Marcel for letting me know and for enjoying our recipes. You can leave out the coconut and no need to adjust any of the recipe. Thank you :) Bonita
Good Morning Bonita,I am a bit behind on watching your wonderful recipes but I will always catch up😊 I can’t wait for my granddaughters to visit so we can make this delightful cake.Have a grand day 😊
Hi Linda: Thats ok just as long as you stop by, :) I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. Thank you once again for all your support on our channel, and enjoy this one to the fullest. :) Have a lovely day......Bonita
Hi Bonita, thanks for this recipe. It looks so good. My mother used to make a gumdrop cake and we enjoyed it so much. I wanted to make it this past Christmas, but I could not get gumdrops or baking gums anywhere. I saw another recipe and it said to use cut-up ju-jubes as a substitute. Are they pretty much the same as the baking gums? Thank you. I would love to make your recipe, as the coconut sounds so good.
Hi Sashine: You are very welcome and thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, baking gumdrops are pretty much the same as the ju-jubes but not as big. When they start to bake it will soften them up. We usually make this one for Christmas but no coconut but I love the coconut in it, so I thought I would share it now because we have so many special occasions and this cake will be lovely. Enjoy Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen That's good to know, Bonita, and thank you for your message. I can't wait to make this, and I will do it with the coconut. Thanks again.
Hi Bev: Thank you for your message and for stopping by and making our gumdrop coconut cake. You can freeze it in two pieces and wrapped really good to keep the freshness of your cake. This way when you thaw out the cake one piece at a time in will be nice and tasty not dry. Enjoy and Merry Christmas Bonita
@@bevh.4399 You can leave it out all together and when you add the milk slowly to get the right texture for your batter. You may only need 3/4 of a cup. Enjoy and Merry Christmas :) Bonita
Did not know that there was such a thing as “baking gum drops”. Gotta check if they have it at walmart.... thank you Ms Bonnie for the interesting recipe
Hi Christine: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, the walmart may have them or the Bulk Barn. We buy them in our grocery stores here in Newfoundland. Enjoy Bonita
Yes Suzanne it is a lovely cherry cake, you can leave the coconut out if you wish or don't like a lot of it. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
