Milky Way Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt candy and 1/2 cup of butter. Stir until everything blends together. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a stand mixer bowl, mix sugar and remaining butter for 5 minutes on high speed. Add eggs 1 at a time, combining well after each addition.

Step 4

Turn mixer to low and add flour, salt and baking soda then add Milky Way mixture, buttermilk and vanilla.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake’s center comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 250F and add white chocolate to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Step 8

In increments of 10 minutes, bake chocolate then smooth and re-spread using a spatula.

Step 9

Repeat 3-5 more times. Scrape chocolate into a bowl and whisk until smooth.

Step 10

Add chocolate to a pot over low heat and whisk in heavy cream. Once glaze is smooth and pourable, set aside to cool then pour over room temperature cake. If glaze is too thick, heat in increments of 30 seconds to achieve pouring consistency.
