Milky Way Pound Cake Recipes

MILKY WAY CAKE RECIPE

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 POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Grease large tube pan, line bottom of pan with parchment, grease again, and lightly flour bottom. Shake out excess. Set aside. Preheat Oven to 325 degrees In saucepan or microwave, melt candy bars and 1/2 cup butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside. (If using stove, stand by stove and use low heat, chocolate can burn easily) In large mixing bowl, cream remaining, butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add melted candy slowly while blending, so as to not cook the eggs. In a seperate bowl, comine dry ingredients. Add alternately with butermilk to the creamed butter and candy muxture. Blend together well. Batter will be thin. Turn batter into prepared pan and bake in pre-heated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until cake tests done. May test done after 1 hour depending on weather. I tend to check at 45 minutes and every 15 minutes there after. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cake rack to cool completely.
