Ingredients

  • 1 box Chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Water
  • 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Caramel sauce
  • 4 bars Butterfinger candy bars
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip (whipped topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the cake mix box, combining the mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and water in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 3

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Once the cake is baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake, spacing about 1 inch apart.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce until combined. Slowly pour this mixture over the cake, filling the holes. Use a spatula to spread evenly over the surface.

Step 6

Let the cake cool completely to room temperature. While waiting, crush the Butterfinger candy bars into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor.

Step 7

Once the cake has cooled, spread the Cool Whip whipped topping evenly over the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars generously over the whipped topping layer.

Step 9

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Decadent Butterfinger Cake!
