MILKY WAY CAKE
Steps:
- In microwave or double boiler, melt 7 Milky Way candy bars with 1/2 cup butter. Stir until smooth, and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, cream sugar and 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. In another bowl, whisk together flour and soda. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to creamed mixture, ending with the flour mixture. Stir in candy mixture and vanilla until well blended. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. Bake at 325ºF for about 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out dry. Melt 3 Milky Way candy bars with 3/8 cup butter or margarine. Pour glaze over top of the cake, and let it run down the sides.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking the cake will make it dry and crumbly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a variety of toppings to decorate your cake. This could include sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.
Conclusion:
The Milky Way cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist and flavorful cake layers and creamy frosting, it's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're making it for a birthday party, a potluck, or just a special treat for yourself, the Milky Way cake is sure to be a hit.
