Prep time: 25 min.
Baking time: 50-60 min.
Decoration time: 15 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
  • 1 bag MILKY WAY® Brand FUN SIZE®, unwrapped
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 15-oz. can solid pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 5 tablespoons condensed milk
  • 12-cup bundt cake pan
What to do:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Reserve 10 MILKY WAY® Brand FUN SIZE® bars to be used in the drizzle. Chop the remaining candy. Reserve 1/2 cup of chopped candy for decoration.
  3. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda and salt, and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream the butter with the sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, and stir in the pumpkin puree. The mixture will be loose and wet.
  5. Using a low speed blender, mix the flour with the batter, one third at a time. Blend well after each addition. Stir in the apple cider until smooth.
  6. Spoon half of the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Using the chopped candy, make a layer on top of the batter. Cover with the remaining batter (leaving the reserved 1/2 cup of chopped candy for decoration).
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  8. Gently loosen the sides of the cake from the pan, and invert it onto a cake plate. Unmold the cake from the pan, letting it carefully slip out.
  9. To make the drizzle, melt the reserved MILKY WAY® Brand FUN SIZE® bars with condensed milk, either in a saucepan over medium low heat, or for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave. Drizzle the MILKY WAY® mixture over the top of the cooled cake. Decorate the top of the cake with a sprinkle of the 1/2 cup of reserved chopped candy.
TIP: If you don’t have a bundt cake pan, simply bake the cake in a 9 x 13-inch greased baking pan for 35 to 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
