Caramel Nougat Cake V

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Sift together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt 8 candy bars with 1/2 cup margarine, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup margarine and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture and chopped nuts.
4. Pour batter into prepared 10 inch tube pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
5. To make the Frosting: In a medium saucepan melt remaining 3 candy bars with 1/2 cup margarine. Stir until smooth. Beat in confectioners' sugar to desired thickness.

"Please note: For the frosting to come out right, you need to add 1 tbl of milk. I tried making the frosting twice, throwing out the first attempt because it looked awful, very lumpy and the butter w..." See moreas leaking out. The second time I figured something must be off in the recipe. All it took was a splash of milk for the frosting to smooth out and it turned out perfectly. Overall, the cake is wonderful. The taste is much subtler than what I was expecting, and isn't too sweet. The frosting really gives it the candy taste. I made cupcakes out of this recipe, cooking them for 20 minutes, and they turned out beautifully! Yielded 4 dozen cupcakes and they were gone in a flash. Will definitely make again."
