This is a fabulous, easy to make recipe I found in the "Cooking with Paula Deen" magazine - a sure winner for all those who love chocolate and butterfingers! The only thing I do differently with all my cake mixes is to use buttermilk in place of the water.

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, finely chopped and divided in half
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 1/4 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping
1 (8 ounce) container frozen non-dairy topping, thawed
1 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray with flour.
  • Prepare cake mix following package directions(adding water, oil and eggs).
  • Add 1 chopped Butterfinger to batter, stirring well.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake as directed on package.
  • Let cake cool for 5 minutes.
  • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes in cake in 1 inch intervals, poking halfway through the cake.
  • Pour condensed milk and caramel topping evenly over cake.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1 chopped Butterfinger over caramel.
  • Cover and chill.
  • Before serving, spread whipped topping evenly over cake.
  • Garnish with chopped Butterfinger, if desired.
  • Cut into squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the batter, mixing until just combined: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan: Make sure the pan is not too full, as the cake will rise as it bakes.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Keep an eye on the cake as it bakes, as ovens can vary in temperature.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Butterfinger Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate cake, peanut butter frosting, and Butterfinger candy bars is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make this cake at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
