Butterfinger Ecstasy Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix (plus required eggs, oil, and water as directed on the box)
- 1 king size Butterfinger bar, crushed
- 1 small (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12.25 oz) jar of caramel syrup
- 16 oz of heavy whipping cream
- â…“ cup of powdered sugar
Directions:
- Bake the yellow cake according to the instructions on the box. Use a cake pan that fits the amount of mix.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and while still warm, poke holes all over the top using the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar object.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. Pour this mixture over the cooled cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until it starts to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake.
- Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger bar over the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together and the whipped cream to set slightly.
