MILKY WAY CAKE RECIPE
The first time Southern Living ran a recipe for the Milky Way Cake, grocery stores across the South reported a shortage of those beloved candy bars. Grocers, here we go again! Buttermilk makes the cake layers super tender, while Ovaltine Chocolate Malt drink mix lends a whimsical, vintage flavor to the frosting and filling.

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 CAKE W/ MILKY WAY FROSTING-ANNETTE'S
Be forewarned. This recipe is not for the faint at heart. In fact, you will most likely gain a pound just reading the ingredients. It is not for someone who is dieting, diabetic, watching their waste line or wanting to fit into that pair of skinny jeans by next month. It is fattening and full of butter and candy bars BUT it is...

- 3. In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking soda together. Gradually add to egg mixture with 1 cup buttermilk.
- 4. Add nuts and vanilla. Fold in candy bar mixture.
- 5. Bake 1 hour at 325° in a 9x13 inch pan. (cooking time my vary depending on oven temps, you may cook a little less, watch for brownness.)
- 6. ***Frosting**** Melt butter, Milky Way bars and milk. Add powdered sugar until desired thickness is reached. I make my frosting to the consistency of ganache. You want it to be thick and not run so that it sticks to the cake well. When you cut each slice your frosting should come apart with the cake almost like fudge. YUM! Enjoy!
