  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Base

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix

Fillings and Toppings

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup peanut butter frosting
  • 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Bake the Chocolate Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before moving on to the next step.
  2. Poke Holes into the Cake: Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar tool to poke holes evenly all over the top of the cooled cake, spacing them about one inch apart. This allows the sweetened condensed milk to soak in for maximum moistness.
  3. Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk: Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, letting it seep into all the holes and infuse the cake with creamy sweetness.
  4. Layer with Peanut Butter Frosting: Spread a generous layer of peanut butter frosting evenly over the entire surface of the cake, locking in all the gooey sweetness below.
  5. Top with Chopped Butterfinger: Sprinkle the finely chopped Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the peanut butter frosting to add a signature crunchy texture to each bite.
  6. Add Whipped Cream: Finish by spreading a fluffy layer of whipped cream or whipped topping over the cake for a light and airy balance to the richness.

Notes

  • Cool cake completely before poking holes to prevent crumbling.
  • Use a smooth and creamy peanut butter frosting to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Finely chop Butterfinger bars to evenly distribute crunchy bites throughout the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • Smoothly slice with a serrated knife to keep servings neat and intact.
