Milky Way Cake




List of Ingredients



• 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 teaspoons Baking soda
  
• 1 pinch Salt
  
• 1 cup Butter
  
• 2 cups Sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  
• 6 Milky Way bars; 2.15 ounces each
  
• 6 Eggs
  
• 1 cup Buttermilk
  
• Milky Way Icing:
  
• 4 tablespoons Butter
  
• 2 Milky Way bars; 2.15 ounces each
  
• 1 cup Powdered sugar; sifted
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Line bottom of one 10" tube pan or two 8" square brownie pans with baking parchment or waxed paper. Lightly grease sides of pans (Unless using non stick pans). Set aside.
   
2. Sift flour with soda and salt; set aside. Put half the butter in large mixer bowl. Beat until light. Add sugar and beat until mixture holds together. (There's to much sugar for this to really cream, but the smoother it is, the better). Beat in the vanilla. Turn off mixer.
   
3. Combine the remaining butter with the Milky Way bars in a heavy saucepan. Stir constantly over low heat until mixture is completely melted and smooth, a thick liquid. Turn off heat.
   
4. Beat eggs into the butter sugar mixture one at a time, then beat a scant 1/2 of the flour mixture. With mixer on, add all of the melted butter, Milky Way blend as quickly as possible, and as close to the beaters as possible. When the candy is thoroughly blended in, add the remaining 1/2 of the flour, then the buttermilk.
   
5. Turn batter into prepared pan and bake or 1 hour and 25 minutes; 55 minutes if using brownie pan, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn it onto a rack. If using Milky Way Icing, frost cake only while icing and cake are warm. Makes one large tube cake or two 8" square cakes.
   
   
6. For icing: Melt butter and candy together in a heavy saucepan. Stir constantly over low heat until mixture is fully melted and smooth. Beat in vanilla and sugar. Spread on warm cake while frosting is warm and pliable. Do top and sides.
