McVities Milkyway Cake Bars 5 pack

Product Information

Flour– I prefer to use white flour for cake recipes, but you could use a blend of white flour and whole wheat flour. I would not recommend using only whole wheat flour, though, as the flavor and texture will not be quite the same. These caramel drips have a tendency to continue to slowly run down the cake after they’ve been added. I recommend popping the cake in the freezer for about 30 minutes right after you finish decorating to help them stay in place. Heat 1/3 cup of heavy cream in aheatproof bowlin the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until it’s steaming and just starting to bubble. Pour in the warm water, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla into a separate bowl and whisk together until fully incorporated.

Texture Galaxy: Experience the blissful balance of fluffy cake, creamy frosting, and gooey caramel that’s simply out of this world. Sift or whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt) into a large bowl. I did, however, have a ton of fun sized Milky Way leftover, so I just switched up the recipe a bit and came up with this Milky Way Cheesecake Bars Recipe! This cake uses a cake mix, but there is no shame in that, seriously. The end result is so darned delicious that nobody will care that you cheated a little bit. Heavy Cream– Whole milk or alternative milk (soy, almond, oat) can also be used to make the frosting.

how to prepare a bundt pan

Generously butter a 12 cup bundt pan, making sure to get the butter on every nook and cranny of the interior surface. Then dust over the butter with flour (cake or all-purpose works here). Tap the flour around in the bundt, again making sure every surface of the butter is lightly coated in flour. You can also use a baking release spray here, if your pan advises it. I have a Nordic Ware pan and it recommends butter or shortening with flour or a baking spray containing flour, but not regular cooking spray. Milky Way Cake can last for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It is best to consume the cake within the first 2-3 days for optimal freshness and flavor. Can I make the frosting ahead of time? Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until they're incorporated into the batter. Do not over-mix! Add Toppings– Pipe some whipped cream or marshmallow fluff on the top, add some sprinkles, shave some chocolate curls onto it. Garnishing the top of a cake is the best part!

This frosting can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months! Just be sure to give it a good stir once it thaws to make it nice and smooth again.

Unsalted Butter– If you only have salted butter, on hand you can use it in place of the unsalted butter. Just be sure to omit the salt that this frosting recipe calls for. You can also use vegan butter in its place! All Purpose Flour– This recipe turns out best with all-purpose flour. However, you can swap in a good gluten free flour blend ( like this) if needed. Just be sure to stir the batter longer than normal to help give the cake proper structure, and let the batter sit for about 20 minutes before baking it if you opt to make a gluten free version.

Yes, you can use a different type of chocolate for the frosting. Semi-sweet chocolate chips work well in this recipe, but you can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate if you prefer.

Your Milky Way cake will keep for 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Here’s a tip though – this cake tastes amazing when it’s chilled! Try storing it in the fridge and see for yourself (it will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge). Then freeze the cake for about 10 minutes in the freezer or 30 minutes in the fridge. This will help the buttercream and filling between the cake layers firm up and make the cake easier to frost. Step 7: The Best Part: Decorate This Milky Way Cake!

As you assemble the cake, pipe a ring of chocolate buttercream around each cake layer. Spread about 1/3 of the fluffy chocolate cake filling inside the buttercream ring. Top with a generous drizzle of caramel. Add the beaten eggs, vanilla and cooled chocolate mixture. Mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Once the pan has warmed up, pour in 1 cup sugar gradually, adding 1/4 cup at a time. Wait until the sugar is mostly dissolved, then add in the next bit of sugar. What can I say, I love chocolate! I have never been a huge fan of cheesecake, so the more chocolate involved, the bigger the likelihood that I will enjoy it.This frosting can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months!
