AUNT GEORGIA'S GUMDROP CAKE

Steps:

• Remove black gumdrops if you don't like them (I use them). Toss gumdrops in a little flour before using. This keeps them from dropping to the bottom of the cake.
• Warm the applesauce in the microwave until just a bit hot, not REALLY hot. Stir in the baking soda and allow it to dissolve. Allow to cool a bit.
• Cream together: butter/margarine, sugars and eggs. Mix in applesauce with baking soda.
• In separate bowl, combine flour, allspice, cinnamon and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture along with floured gumdrops and nuts and stir in until incoporated.
• Grease two loaf pans or one bundt pan (9 inches at least). Add batter and bake in preheated 300 degree oven for 1.5 to 2 hours until done. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in center comes out with little specks of cake, but not doughy.
