HERSHEY BAR CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
• Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs, beating after each addition.
• Melt the Hershey bars. Add a little melted chocolate to the egg mixture and beat. Continue to add chocolate and beat until it is all combined.
• Add the buttermilk and flour alternately. Stir in the vanilla, salt, and pecans. (I dust my pecans with a little flour to help keep them suspended throughout the cake, rather than sinking to the bottom.)
• Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 90 minutes.
