---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                             MILKY WAY CAKE

2 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch Salt
1/2 pound (2 sticks Butter)
2 cups Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla
6 Milky Way Bars (2.15 oz. each)
6 Eggs (at room temperature)
1 cup Buttermilk
Heat oven to 300 degrees.

Line bottom of 9 1/2 or 10 inch tube pan with baking parchment or waxed
paper and lightly grease sides.  Set aside. Sift flour with baking soda and
salt.  Set aside.  Put half the butter (one stick) in large bowl of a
stand-type mixer, and beat until light.  Add the sugar and keep beating until
the mixture holds together; there is too much sugar for it to really "cream",
but the smoother the better.

Combine the remaining butter (one stick) with the Milky Way bars in a heavy
saucepan.  Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, just until the mixture
is completely melted and a smooth thick liquid.

Beat eggs into the butter/sugar mixture, one at a time.  Then beat in a scant
half of the dry ingredients.  With the machine on, add the melted Milky Way
mixture as close as possible to all at once, aiming for the beaters as you
pour. When the candy is thoroughly blended in, add the remaining dry
ingredients, then the buttermilk and vanilla.

Turn the batter into the pan.  Bake for 1 hour 25 minutes (about 55 minutes
if you're doing it in a brownie pan - about 20-25 minutes for cupcakes), or
until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cake cool in the pan for about 10
minutes, then turn out of pan and finish cooling on a rack.

If icing with Milky Way Icing, ice cake while cake and icing warm, otherwise
let cake cool completely before frosting.

                       MILKY WAY ICING

4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) Butter
2 Milky Way Bars (2.15 oz each)
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 cup sifted confectioners' Sugar

Melt butter and candy together in a heavy saucepan over a low heat. Beat in
the vanilla and sugar.  Spread over cake while still warm.

Definitely not a recipe for anyone trying to lose weight.  :)
