MILKY WAY CAKE RECIPE



Milky Way Cake Recipe image

The first time Southern Living ran a recipe for the Milky Way Cake, grocery stores across the South reported a shortage of those beloved candy bars. Grocers, here we go again! Buttermilk makes the cake layers super tender, while Ovaltine Chocolate Malt drink mix lends a whimsical, vintage flavor to the frosting and filling.

Time 2h20m

Yield Makes 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

7 (1.84-oz.)s Milky Way candy bars
1 cup unsalted butter, softened, divided
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 (16-oz.) package powdered sugar
1 cup cup chocolate malt drink mix (such as Ovaltine)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 (1.84-oz.)s Milky Way candy bars, sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine candy bars and 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
  • Beat granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 cup butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add flour mixture, alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until blended after each addition. Add melted candy mixture and vanilla; beat on low speed just until blended. Divide batter among 3 greased (with shortening) and floured 9-inch round pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Frosting: Microwave chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH 1 minute or until melted and smooth, stirring after 30 seconds. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Beat butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add malt drink mix, vanilla, and salt; beat on low speed 2 minutes. Add melted chocolate and beat on low speed 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons cream and beat on medium speed until smooth and spreadable, adding an additional tablespoon of cream if needed to reach desired consistency.
  • Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish with candy bars as desired.

MILKY WAY CAKE



Milky Way Cake image

I got this recipe out the one The Lady & Sons cookbooks. It is officially the cake I make for my brother on his birthday. It's a 3 layer cake and oh so good! It is the cure for a sweet tooth.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

confectioners' sugar, for dusting pans
8 (1 3/4 ounce) Milky Way bars
1 1/2 cups butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs, well beaten
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup marshmallow cream
1/2 cup butter
6 ounces chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325.
  • Grease three 9-in. cake pans and dust them with confectioner's sugar. To make the cake, melt the Milky Way bars with 1 stick of butter. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Cream the remaining 2 sticks of butter with the granulated sugar. Add the beaten eggs and the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Sift the flour and the baking soda together. Alternately add the flour and buttermilk to the batter, blending well. Add the nuts and vanilla.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minute or until the cake is firm to the touch. Cool for 5 minutes, remove from the pans and place on cooling racks.
  • While the cake cools prepare the icing. Combine the sugar and milk in a heavy saucepan. Cook to the soft-ball stage (234 degrees on a candy thermometer). Remove the pan from the heat and add the marshmallow cream, butter and chocolate chips, stirring until melted. Add the pecans. When the cake has cooled completely, frost each layer, sides and top of the Milky Way Cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure you have all ingredients measured and prepped, and the necessary tools and equipment are within reach.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring ingredients like eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This promotes better emulsification and a smooth batter.
  • Don't Overmix: Avoid overmixing the cake batter, as this can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Baking Temperature: Monitor the oven temperature accurately using an oven thermometer. Slight variations in temperature can affect the baking process.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake layers to cool completely before frosting. This prevents the frosting from melting and seeping into the cake, compromising its structure.
  • Ganache Frosting: When making the ganache, ensure the heavy cream is hot but not boiling before pouring it over the chocolate. Mix until smooth and glossy.
  • Decorating: Be creative with your decorations! Use chopped Milky Way bars, crushed Oreos, or even edible glitter to add a personal touch.

Conclusion:

The Milky Way cake with Milky Way frosting is a delightful dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and caramel in a moist, fluffy cake. The ganache frosting adds a decadent touch, making it an ideal treat for special occasions or everyday enjoyment. With careful preparation and attention to detail, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a baking adventure that will leave you craving more!
