First, measure out 3/4 cup jelly beans and mix with 2 tablespoons flour. Set aside.
|
|
|
|
Add 1 1/4 cups sugar to a large bowl.
|
 |
|
Add two sticks of softened butter or margarine and a block of softened cream cheese.
|
 |
|
Then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
|
 |
|
Beat those ingredients together.
|
 |
|
Crack three eggs and add them one by one. Be sure to check for any stray eggshells that may have fallen in!
|
 |
|
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the butter mixture.
|
 |
|
Mix all ingredients well.
|
 |
|
Spread one cup of the batter into a greased and floured fluted tube pan.
|
 |
|
Then it is time to add the jelly beans to the remaining batter!
|
 |
|
Take a spoon and stir it all together. It is a very thick batter, so it might have to be a team effort.
|
 |
|
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 50-60 minutes. Waiting is probably the hardest part of the whole process!
|
 |
|
Once the toothpick comes out clean, cool for 10 minutes and then flip onto a serving plate. You can create a very simple glaze for the cake by putting a tub of Betty Crocker® Rich and Creamy frosting in the microwave, uncovered, for about 15 seconds. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of milk and drizzle over the cake. You can also decorate with additional jelly beans if you want. This delicious cake is not too sweet and would be a great addition to your Easter or spring brunch!
