Kit Kat® Bundt® Cake
- cooking spray
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups white sugar
- 2 cups butter (, room temperature)
- ⅔ cup milk
- 5 eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 snack-size chocolate-covered wafer candy bars (such as Kit Kat®) (, coarsely chopped, or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup evaporated milk
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use cooking spray to grease the inside of a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Add 2 1/2 cups sugar, 2 cups softened butter, milk, eggs, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Use a spatula to lightly stir and moisten the ingredients. Mix on low speed for about 3 minutes, until the batter is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, coat the candy bar pieces with 1 tablespoon flour. Fold the coated candy bar pieces into the batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out moist with crumbs clinging to it. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 25 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup white sugar, evaporated milk, 1/4 cup butter, chocolate chips, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the frosting thickens. Pour the frosting over the cooled cake.
