Milky Way Pound cake
I've never made the frosting. It's too rich.
Use "PAM with flour" baking spray.
Milky Way Pound cake
6 (2.15 ounce) Milky Way Bars
1 cup butter, divided
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
Grease a large tube pan. Line bottom with wax paper or parchment, grease again, and lightly flour bottom, shaking out excess flour. Set aside.
In a saucepan or microwave, melt candy bars and 1/2 cup butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside.
In large mixing bowl, cream remaining butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add melted candy and butter mixture, blending well.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture. Blend well.
Turn batter into prepared pan and bake in pre-heated 325-degree oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until cake tests done. (I check the cake after 1 hour.) Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes before inverting onto cake rack to completely cool.
When cool, either dust w/powder sugar or frost. Makes 12-16 servings.
Frosting
6 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup cocoa
2 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cream butter. Add cocoa and sugar, a little at a time, alternating with milk. Beat until frosting looks smooth (add a touch more milk if necessary). Blend in vanilla. Frosting can be frozen, and cake freezes well.
