Yes! I said Milky---Way---Cake! Served at Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World, this moist cake has at its base five Milky Way candy bars. There is no way to make this diet friendly, so don't think about annoying calorie and fat counts and just enjoy. I used Milky Way Midnight dark chocolate candy bars. The recipe calls for an angel food cake pan and I couldn't find mine, so used a bundt pan. If you do the same, fill the bundt cake pan about 2/3 full and then put the rest of the batter in a small cake pan. This way you can take the cake to an event and have leftovers at home. Beware! This cake is habit forming.

Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk and add alternately with flour to candy mixture, ending with flour.
Beat egg whites to still peaks and fold into candy mixture with chopped pecans.
