Milky Way Cake

A few of you have emailed and asked if I enjoy/like desserts. The simple truth is I LOVE desserts! But, my body/fat does not!!! So I try to limit them. Don't always succeed, but I do try. Last night I gave in     and baked one of my family's favorite cakes. It is Aunt Trisha's Milky Way Cake. It is moist, dense and chocolaty and just out right gooooood. I have been in my husband's family for 20 years now and this is the one cake that the entire family will want and fight over, hee hee!

I have made an icing to go with this cake and it is ooey gooey delicious. My husband and son are NOT fans of icing so I leave it off until I'm ready for my piece of yummy goodness.

Milky Way Cake
Aunt Trisha's

7 regular Milky Way Bars
2 stick Butter
2 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups Sugar
4 whole Eggs
1 cup Buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Vanilla

Icing:
3 regular Milky Way Bars
1 stick butter
2 teaspoon milk
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour pan of choice. I use a pound cake pan and Aunt Trisha uses a tube or loaf pans. Melt butter and candy bars; set aside.

Beat eggs, one at a time. Add remaining ingredients and mix together. Fold in Milky Way bars and butter mixture. Bake for 1hour and ten minutes. I use a pound cake pan so it cooks quicker, so you may have to adjust accordingly. Cool completely before serving. I personally feel it needs to sit over night befor serving. It also freezes well.

This icing is absolutely delicious.
Icing: Melt candy bars and butter. Stir in milk and powdered sugar. Add additional milk if needed. Mix until smooth and spoon onto cooled cake. Trust me, the icing is worth the extra calories!

This is my piece!

Enjoy!
