Ingredients

6 Milky Way candy bars
1 cup Butter or margarine
2 cup Sugar
4 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 1/4 cup Buttermilk
1 cup Chopped nuts

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 350ÃÂ°F (175ÃÂ°C).
2
Generously butter a 9-inch fluted tube pan to prevent sticking.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine the Milky Way candy bars and 1/2 cup of the butter over low heat.
4
Stir constantly until the candy and butter are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5
In a large mixing bowl, cream the remaining 1/2 cup of butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
6
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
7
Mix in the vanilla extract and the melted candy mixture until well combined.
8
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
9
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined.
10
Fold in the chopped nuts gently with a spatula.
11
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
12
Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
13
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
14
Carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.

Note that the top will be quite dark due to the melted chocolate and caramel. This is normal.

Serve plain or with your favorite frosting if desired.

Ensure the candy mixture has cooled slightly before adding it to the butter/sugar mixture to avoid cooking the eggs.
