Three delightfully delicious recipes. I have tried
all three and love them all.
Milky Way Cake #1
Makes 1 Bundt cake
10 (2.1 ounce) bars Milky Way candy bars 1 3/8 cups
butter 2 cups white sugar 3 eggs 2 1/2 cups all-purpose
flour 1 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons vanilla
extract 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
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 to
within an inch of the top of the pan. It is very important not to
grease and flour clear to the top; it will run over, make an awful mess
in your oven, and the cake will fall. Bake at 325 degrees F (165
degrees C) 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. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.

flour and combine with baking powder, and salt. Set mixture aside. With
and electric mixer, beat shortening, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy.
