    1. "Most kids do not like fruit cake, so I have devised a moist version of a classic gumdrop cake. Freeze the cake till Christmas or possibly chill up to two weeks."
    2. Preheat the oven to 350F. Cut the gumdrops into small pcs*(get your kids to do this); leaving out the black ones. In a small bowl, toss with the raisins and 1/2 c flour. Reserve.
    3. In a separate bowl, combine the baking pwdr, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt with the remaining flour.
    4. In a large bowl, cream the butter till light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Beat in the Large eggs, one at a time.
    5. Stir in the applesauce, flour mix and lemon rind. Mix in the gumdrop and raisin mix.
    6. Butter a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan and line with buttered wax or possibly parchment paper. Pour in the batter.
    7. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs or possibly until knife inserted comes out clean.
    8. Turn out the cake and let it cold completely. Wrap well with foil and store for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Freeze if keeping longer than 2 weeks.
    9. MAKES: 1 loaf
