I like to make these in the soup cans for gifts. Either way, it's a great Holiday bread that is very pretty when sliced.

Beat all ingredients except gumdrops and nuts in large bowl on low speed 15 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in gumdrops and nuts. pour into pan.
Step 3

Bake until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. For best results, store bread for at least 24 hours before slicing. To store, wrap and refrigerate no longer than 1 week. For soup cans divide batter among soup cans. Bake about 40 minutes.
