MILKY WAY CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine candy bars and 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
• Beat granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 cup butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add flour mixture, alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until blended after each addition. Add melted candy mixture and vanilla; beat on low speed just until blended. Divide batter among 3 greased (with shortening) and floured 9-inch round pans.
• Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Prepare the Frosting: Microwave chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH 1 minute or until melted and smooth, stirring after 30 seconds. Cool 5 minutes.
