Best Butterfinger Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to temperature specified on the cake mix box.
• Prepare the German Chocolate Cake mix as directed on the box.
• Bake cake in a 9x13 glass cake pan, for as long as directed on the cake mix box.
• When cake is done allow to cool until it is just barely warm.
• When the cake is just barely warm take a wooden spoon handle and poke holes in the top of the cake. Put as many holes as you want.
• Take carmel and drizzle over the top of the cake allowing it to run into the holes. Use the whole jar.
• Take the sweetened condensed milk and drizzle over the top of the cake allowing it to run into the holes. Use the whole can.
• When the cake is completely cool take the container of cool whipe and spread all over the top of the cake, until whole cake is covered. If cake isn't completely cooled the cool whip will melt and run off.
• Crush all the butterfingers and sprinkle over the top of the cake. Then put the cake in the refrigerator until ready to server. The cake needs to be refrigerated at least 30 minutes to allow it to set up.

Steps:

• Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, and egg yolks together in a large bowl with an electric mixture until creamy. Fold whipped topping into the mixture.
• Spread 1/2 the angel food cake pieces on the bottom of a trifle dish. Pour 1/2 the whipped topping mixture in an even layer over the cake pieces. Sprinkle 1/2 the crushed candy bars over the top. Repeat layers with remaining cake, whipped topping mixture, and crushed candy. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle maker that makes round waffles to medium heat. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.
• Pour 1/2 cup batter into the center of the waffle maker, close the lid and cook until the cake is cooked through and springs back when touched, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove the cake from the waffle maker using a fork and set it aside on a wire rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter for 7 waffled cakes total.
• Meanwhile, beat the butter and peanut butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar about 1/2 cup at a time, beating between additions, until incorporated. Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt and beat until smooth. Finely chop 1 candy bar (about 1 cup) and fold in the pieces. Transfer the buttercream to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag and snip the tip.
• Put 1 waffled cake on a cake stand or plate. Pipe a layer of buttercream onto the cake, covering completely, and top with another waffled cake. Repeat with the remaining buttercream and waffled cakes.
• Cut the remaining candy bars into ten 1/2-inch thick pieces (reserve any crumbs) and decorate the rim of the cake with them. Roughly chop any remaining candy bars and sprinkle them along with the reserved crumbs in the center of the cake, creating a mound. Chill for at least 2 hours to set completely. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix cake mix, water, oil, and eggs together in a bowl; pour into prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes. Immediately poke holes in the cake using a skewer or straw.
• Pour sweetened condensed milk, hot fudge, and caramel over cake. Allow cake to cool, about 1 hour.
• Spread whipped topping over cooled cake and sprinkle with crushed peanut butter candy. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Bake cake in a tube pan according to package directions and cool completely. Split in half. Half will be used for each layer. Mix softened butter with powdered sugar. Blend in yolks. Add whipped topping. Tear one half of angel food cake into bite sized pieces and layer in the bottom of a 9x13 cake pan. Spread half the powdered sugar mixture over the cake pieces. Top with half or slightly less than half of the chopped Butterfingers (I like more candy for the top layer to look extra yummy). Repeat with cake pieces, then remaining frosting, then candy bits. Chill thoroughly before serving. Store in refrigerator.

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.

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10- to 15-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the milk solids begin to turn golden brown. Remove the pot from the heat and continue stirring until the butter has cooled slightly. Transfer to a large bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon of the browned butter in a separate small bowl for the glaze.
• Add the ice cube to the larger bowl of browned butter. Set in the ice bath (making sure no water gets into the butter) and whisk for about 5 minutes, until cooled, milky in color, and thickened, but not completely solid.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add sugar to the bowl with the browned butter and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla bean paste and Greek yogurt, and beat until just combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
• Fold in the Butterfinger Bits or crushed Butterfinger bars with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
• Bake the cake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
• While the cake cools, make the glaze: If needed, melt the reserved tablespoon of brown butter. Transfer to a medium bowl with the powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk, and whisk until smooth.
• Turn the cake out of the pan. Let cool for another 10-15 minutes, or until no longer warm to the touch.
• Drizzle the glaze over the cake. Garnish with the Butterfinger Bits or crushed Butterfinger bars.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
