Milkyway Cake
Don't eat this all by yourself!
Ingredients:
5 full-size Milky Way candy bars
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, separated
2.5 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1.25 cups buttermilk
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups melted semi-sweet chocolate morsals (to be used as frosting)
Instructions:
- Grease and flour an angel food pan.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit.
- In a small pot over low heat, melt the Milky Way bars, with half the butter.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the sugar with the remaining half of the butter until light.
- Add the melted Milky Way bars and butter to the bowl of creamed sugar and butter, and blend thoroughly.
- Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after adding each egg.
- In a small separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk.
- Add a little of the baking soda/buttermilk mixture to the candy/sugar mixture.
- Add a little of the flour to the candy/sugar mixture.
- Repeat the previous two steps until you have incorporated all of the baking soda/buttermilk mixture and flour into the candy/sugar mixture. (Doing it a little bit at a time makes the texture perfect.)
- Add the chopped pecans to the batter.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold gently into the candy mixture.
- Pour into the angel food pan.
- Bake for approximately 65-70 minutes.
- Cool the cake.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ice the cooled cake with them.
Make sure you have lots of ice-cold milk on hand!
