This delightful creation takes a Devil’s Food Cake mix and elevates it into a masterpiece that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or impressing guests at your next gathering. Let’s break down this delicious recipe, step by step.
Ingredients of Butterfinger Cake:
- 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
- Ingredients on the box to prepare the cake (eggs, oil, water)
- 1 jar caramel topping (12 ounces)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (12 ounces)
- 5 regular-sized Butterfinger Bars, chopped
- 1 container whipped topping (12 ounces), thawed
- Chocolate syrup for garnish/decorating
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake: Start by preparing the Devil’s Food Cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Combine the cake mix with the required eggs, oil, and water in a large mixing bowl. Bake the cake in a 9″x13″ baking dish, following the package instructions.
- Caramel Magic: In a separate medium mixing bowl, blend together the jar of caramel topping and the sweetened condensed milk until they are fully combined. This creates a luscious caramel mixture that will infuse your cake with sweetness.
- Poke and Pour: While the cake is still warm, use the back of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over it. Then, slowly pour the caramel mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. This step ensures that every bite is oozing with caramel goodness.
- Cool and Complement: Allow the cake to cool completely. Once it has cooled, in a large mixing bowl, fold half of the chopped Butterfinger bars into the thawed whipped topping. This creates a creamy, Butterfinger-infused topping that’s simply divine. Spread it evenly over the cooled cake.
- Top It Off: To take your Butterfinger Cake to the next level, sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger pieces on top of the whipped topping. Finally, give it a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup for that extra layer of indulgence.
