Hershey Bar Cake

Great soft crumb, mild chocolate flavor, dense and moist like a pound cake sort of. When I was tasting it, I kept thinking that something like Malted Milk ice cream and a nut brittle for crunch would go well with the flavors that were happening. I would not do a fruit flavor with it. Here is the recipe.

• 1/2 lb 1/2 butter
  
• 2 c sugar
  
• 4 large eggs
  
• 2 tsp vanilla
  
• 8 Hershey bars (I figured about 12 oz total, just guessing)
  
• 2-1/2 c sifted cake flour
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp soda
  
• 1 c buttermilk
  
• 1 c chopped pecan (i used walnuts, did not have any pecans)
  
• 1 can (5 1/2oz) Hershey's Syrup
  

preheat oven to 315F.

Melt chocolate in top of double boiler.

sift dry ingredients together

cream butter and sugar

add eggs one at a time, mixing well each time

alternate folding in dry ingredients and buttermilk

fold in syrup and vanilla

fold in nuts

bake in a greased tube pan (large size) for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. (It took the full 1 3/4 hours for my oven)

cool

dust with powdered sugar

(also, I dusted the tube pan with cocoa powder instead of flour
