Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ðF (165ðC). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Melt the milk chocolate candy bars according to package directions and let them cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Fold in the melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
