milky way

This Milky Way Cake is the best of two worlds: chocolatey candy bars and buttery cake! A delightfully moist cake with swirls of caramel and Milky Way bars is coated in a white chocolate glaze to make a dessert worthy of sweetening up just about anyone’s day!

Milky Way Cake

Milky Way full sized candy bars

unsalted butter (room temp and divided)

sugar

eggs (room temperature)

all purpose flour

salt

tsp baking soda

buttermilk (room temperature)

tsp vanilla extract

oz white chocolate chips

heavy whipping cream

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

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.

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.

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

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. 

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

For the Cake

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

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

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

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.

For the Icing

This tropical cocktail is an unexpected combination of rum, citrus, lemongrass syrup, and Greek yogurt, topped off with Prosecco.
