Number Of Ingredients 15

FOR THE CAKE YOU WILL NEED
8 milky way bars
4 large eggs
2 stick butter
2 1/2 c flour
2 c sugar
1 c buttermilk
1/2 c chopped pecans
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
FOR THE FROSTING YOU WILL NEED
3 milky way bars
1 stick butter
3 Tbsp milk
2 c powder sugar (this may vary depending on the consistency you want your frosting)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Melt 1 stick of butter and 8 of the Milky Way bars. Set aside.
2. Cream 1 stick of butter and 2 cups sugar together. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg.
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!
