Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until just moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the batter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. (1 minute)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 26 to 31 minutes. (30 minutes)

05

Step

Cool the cake completely on a wire rack. (30 minutes)

06

Step

Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the cake about 1-inch apart and 1-inch deep. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Sprinkle half of the chopped Butterfinger Bites candy over the condensed milk layer. (1 minute)

09

Step

Drizzle the caramel ice cream topping generously over the cake. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the caramel layer. (3 minutes)

11

Step

Sprinkle the remaining chopped Butterfinger Bites candy over the whipped cream. (1 minute)

12

Step

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator. (60 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the cake batter.
To prevent the cake from sticking, grease and flour the baking pan before pouring in the batter.
If you don't have Butterfinger Bites, you can use regular Butterfinger bars, chopped into small pieces.
Feel free to adjust the amount of caramel topping to your preference.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a dark chocolate cake mix.
Garnish with additional whipped cream and caramel drizzle before serving for an elegant presentation.
