Milky Way Bar Swirl Cake

Ingredients

• 4 Milky Way Bars (2.23 ounces each), sliced
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons water
• 1 package (18½ ounces) pudding-in-the-mix yellow cake mix
• ⅓ cup melted butter, cooled
• 3 eggs at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter for the glaze
• Confectioners’ sugar

Method

Stir the slices from two Milky Ways with two tablespoons of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until smooth, and remove from the heat. Meanwhile generously butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. Using an electric mixer, prepare the cake batter with the melted butter (even if the package specifies oil), three eggs, and one cup of water. Scoop out ⅔ cup of the cake batter and stir it, along with the flour, into the melted Milky Ways. Pour the rest of the cake batter into the Bundt pan, and spoon the Milky Way mixture in a ring on the center of the batter, avoiding the sides of the pan. Swirl the batters together with a knife. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes and let cool in the pan on a rack for 25 minutes. Invert and unmold the cake and sprinkle lightly with confectioners’ sugar.

While the cake is cooling, wipe out the saucepan, add the other two sliced Milky Ways along with 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of water, and stir over medium heat until smooth. Let cool until it reaches the consistency of a glaze and drip it over the cake.
