Milky Way Cake

This is an easy moist delicious cake that my family enjoys. My husband who is not a fan of chocolate cake, enjoys this and has requested that I make for the company potluck. I found this recipe in one of the Cake Mix Doctor books and has been a go-to recipe for a number of years. That said, the size of candy bars have changed over the years. To make this easy for me, I usually buy 2 packages of the small candy bars that have 8 in a pack and use one for the cake and one for the glaze.
