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

Large Mixing Bowl – We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.

Hand Mixer/Stand Mixer – You can mix this with either a hand mixer or your stand mixer.

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.

Heat resistant potholders – A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn’t realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
