2. Stir together milk and vanilla.
3. Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add flour and milk to creamed mixture.
4. Reserve 1/4 cup M&M's for topping. Stir remaining M&M's into batter. Pour into greased and floured 12-cup bundt or tube pan.
5. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before removing from pan.
