Sweet Tooth Tuesday -- Leftover Halloween Candy Vanilla Bundt Cake

I found this last year and haven't had the chance to make it yet. But I do plan on making it with the leftover candy this year.

Leftover Halloween Candy Vanilla Bundt Cake
Found at: hhtp://noblepig.com

2 cups all purpose flour plus more for tossing in candy
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, room temperature
2 egg whites, room temperature
3/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cup Halloween candy, chopped
Powdered sugar, optional

Here's the candy: Whoppers, chocolate-peanut butter eyeballs, M&M's, Butterfinger, Milk Duds, Nestle Crunch Bars, Milky Way, Snickers and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Chop up all the candy with the exception of the M&M. Use 1-3/4 cups chopped candy. Toss candy in all-purpose flour in the hopes it would help it not all sink to the bottom of the pan.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy; about 3 minutes. Add the egg and egg whites and mix until fully combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract, continue to mix until fully combined.

Add dry ingredients and mix until incorporated but do not overmix. Fold in chopped candy.

Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan.

Dust with powdered sugar if you choose.

This was a gift from my BFF for my birthday last week. I just love it and it held my bday cake very well.
