Yield Makes 12-16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 (2.15 oz) Milky Way Bars
1 Cup Butter, divided
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2.5 Cups Flour(I use organic AP flour)

  • 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.

Tips:

  • For a moist and fluffy pound cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and airy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 3 months.
