Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups Milky Way bars (fun-sized or regular, chopped)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan or loaf pan thoroughly. Lightly dust the pan with flour to ensure the cake doesn't stick.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in 1 cup of the chopped Milky Way bars by hand using a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake is baking, prepare the caramel-chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the remaining chopped Milky Way bars, heavy cream, and light corn syrup. Stir constantly until the candy bars are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to slightly cool.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the caramel-chocolate glaze over the top of the cake. Use a spoon or piping bag for even distribution.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
