ReplyDeleteThere are eleven FULL Size candy bars. But, we're not going to eat it all in one sitting are we girls? That just wouldn't be very lady like now, would it? ROFL
ReplyDeleteWhy not butter? I only use butter! Looks sinful!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing... and bad, oh soooo bad. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one I gotta try...and I'll try to remember and say my prayers before I eat it!
ReplyDeleteWhat about the inch high chocolate cake? No recipe?

ReplyDeleteWhy are there nuts in a Milky Way Cake? Doesn't that move it up to Snickers material?
ReplyDeleteIt does look delicious though.
Cheryl - you have a very good question! I just dismissed it I guess because I used pecans instead of peanuts. LOL
ReplyDeletedo you use self rising flour or plain flour or cake flour thanks can not wait to try this one
ReplyDeleteHey there! I just use regular all purpose flour for this cake. I can't wait to hear how ya like it! :-)
DeleteI can not wait to make this for my family!!! So glad i found you on Pinterest!

I had the same question as Samantha - why not butter? I always use butter instead of margarine - just curious.. Kathy
ReplyDeleteY a know, I'm not really sure. I just always thought it was that margarine is basically oil based and you needed the extra oil content. Anybody else know?
DeleteOkay....after you add eggs (one at a time) and beat until smooth.....are you stil beating in the flour, soda, buttermilk, and milk way mixture? Or do you mix it by hand?
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight and I may have let it cook too long (my oven seems to get more hot and cook quicker) It ran over the bundt pan a little bit and then when I went to dump the cake out of the pan (yes, I greased and floured pan)...it didn't come out easy at all and then fell apart :( I'm thinking I overcooked it...the edges burned a bit.
So, I am going to try another one. It tastes good.....but it's for a birthday and it needs to look good too. Any other helpful suggestions?
Hey there Anonymous. Yes, I continue beating when putting in the flour mixture. Much simpler for me and it doesn't affect the outcome in any way. :-)
DeleteI, too, have "issues" with my oven (grrr!) but mine have always released from the pan. Hmmmm... maybe you're right about the overcooking part. I use a spray oil/flour mixture as my grease and flour step, but I don't think that would be the issue here (Baker's Joy). Since I kind of know that my oven is posessed (LOL) I usually check my
baking about mid way and keep checking from there - regardless of the time the recipe calls for. I really hope your next try comes out better...and I hope this helps.
I have my cake in the oven as I type and I have a smoke filled kitchen :( The cake is overflowing the sides of the bundt pan. It is an average sized bundt pan. Should I be using an extra large? There is cake all over the bottom of my oven...not sure what I did wrong. Any tips?~gr8dehne at gmail dot com
