Butterfinger Cake Recipe

This easy Butterfinger Cake tastes amazing! The perfect easy poke cake recipe that everyone loves.

Butterfinger Cake

This Butterfinger Poke Cake is one of my husband's favorite desserts. It is the perfect combination of moist cake and delicious Butterfingers.

One of my favorite things about making poke cakes is you can use a cake mix to make them. No need to measure flour or other ingredients to make the cake batter.

You can definitely make a cake from scratch if you want to but we normally use a boxed cake mix for this Butterfinger Cake Recipe.

This is the perfect potluck dessert! I don't know many people who don't love Butterfingers! How can you go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter?

There is so much flavor in this cake! I will say it is one you have to ignore the calories for a minute and just enjoy every bite.

Ingredients

• Chocolate Cake Mix
• Caramel Sauce
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Butterfinger Candy Bars
• Cool Whip whipped topping

+ ingredients listed on the cake mix package directions (eggs, oil)

Cake mix - We use a chocolate cake mix but you can definitely use a yellow cake mix or a white cake mix.

Cool Whip - We use Cool Whip for this cake instead of whipped cream. The Cool Whip is stabilized and will sit on top of the cake.

Optional

Chocolate Sauce - If you want to make the cake even richer you can drizzle it with chocolate syrup.

Equipment

9x13 baking pan

Mixing Bowl

Wooden spoon

Non-stick Spray

Wooden Spoon - The handle of a wooden spoon is perfect for poking holes in the cake. Just let the cake cool a tiny bit so you don't pull the entire cake out or end up mushing it.

If you don't have a wooden spoon you can use a fork to poke holes into the cake. Full instructions at the bottom of the post.

How to make a Butterfinger Poke Cake

Don't forget to preheat the oven.

Bake the boxed cake mix according to the directions. Allow to cool for a few minutes

Poke holes in the cake with a wooden spoon handle.

Make sure to poke holes deep enough that the caramel condensed milk mixture gets down into the cake.

Pour caramel/sweetened condensed milk mixture evenly over the top of the cake. Allow to soak into the cake for a few minutes.

Spread half of the chopped-up Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the top of the cake.

Spread Cool Whip evenly over the top of the chopped-up Butterfingers.

Top with remaining Butterfinger pieces.

Store in the refrigerator. The longer the cake sits the more moist it will be.

Recipe Tips

When you pour caramel mixture make sure it is evenly spread over the cake.

Keep enough Butterfinger pieces to be able to sprinkle the cake with them.

Make sure to store the cake in the refrigerator.

This cake tastes great served with caramel ice cream! Hello yum!
