Candy cake with candy sauce.

### **Instructions:**

**1. Preheat & Prepare**
Start by preheating your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

**2. Make the Cake Batter**
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix everything together until smooth and well-combined.

**3. Add the Candies**
Fold in your candy pieces, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top once the cake is baked. This will give the cake extra bursts of sweetness and fun!

**4. Bake the Cake**
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for **25–30 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

**5. Make the Candy Sauce**
While the cake is cooling, prepare the candy sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

**6. Add the Candy Pieces**
Once the sauce is smooth, add your candy pieces to the sauce, stirring until they melt completely into the creamy base. This will create a rich, gooey candy sauce that will drizzle beautifully over the cake.

**7. Assemble the Cake**
Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the candy sauce over the top, allowing it to spill down the sides for that irresistible, gooey effect. Sprinkle the reserved candy pieces over the top for added crunch and color.

**8. Serve and Enjoy**
Let the candy sauce set slightly before serving (if you can wait that long!). Slice and enjoy the gooey, candy-filled sweetness in every bite.
