Milky Way Cake
Ingredients
- Cake:
- 8 Milky Way Bars (Mars Bars in UK)
- 2 sticks Butter (1 cup)
- 2 cups Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 ½ cup Flour
- 1 Cup Buttermilk
- 2 t Vanilla
- Icing:
- 3 Milky Way Bars
- 1 stick Butter (½ cup)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 ½ box Powdered Sugar
How to do it…
- Preheat oven to 300°F/150°C.
- Melt eight Milky Ways (Mars Bars, UK) and one stick of butter in a pan on the stove. Do this under medium heat. It takes a while but you don’t want anything to burn.
- In a large-ish bowl (or KitchenAid standing mixer), cream sugar and the one stick of butter. And, a little somethin’ for you UK folks and folks who don’t measure in “sticks of butter”, this means half a cup.
- Add eggs one by one to the creamed sugar mix, then the soda, flour, buttermilk and vanilla. Fold in the Milky Way mixture. Try not to eat the batter. It will be hard. You think forcing yourself to do ab crunches and push ups and/or hauling your ass to a boot camp is hard? Willpower lives and dies with Milky Way cake batter.
- Bake for 60 to 90 minutes in 9x13" greased and floured pan.
- For the Icing: Melt the three Milky Ways and one stick butter again. Add milk and powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Spread over cooled cake.
Notes
Decadent and delicious!
By the way, the last time I made this cake, I eff’ed up the cake so bad, I didn’t bother with the icing. I just topped it with custard and ate it that way. Then ate the extra Milky Way bars. But separately.
