Milky Way Cake

Milky Way Cake

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.
