Ingredients
Cake
- 1 chocolate cake boxed mix or homemade
- ½ cup chocolate chips bittersweet
- 8 full sized Butterfingers candy bars chopped
- 28 ounces Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk or your favorite brand
- 1 ½ cups caramel sauce
- 1 ½ cups chocolate sauce
Topping
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant pudding mix , white chocolate or vanilla
Instructions
Step one: Bake cake
-
Mix the batter for the chocolate cake according to the instructions but stir in ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips.
-
Bake the cake according to the recipe directions.
Step two: Add syrups
-
Poke holes in hot cake using a small dowel or straw.
-
Pour the Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk over the hot cake, giving it a few seconds to soak in.
-
Pour the chocolate syrup over the cake, giving it a few seconds to soak in.
-
Pour the caramel over the cake.
-
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
-
Next day sprinkle the cake with 5 chopped Butterfingers.
Topping
-
Whip the cream with the sugar and instant pudding mix until it is thick and spreadable.
-
Top the cake with the whipped cream mixture.
-
Cover with the remaining chopped Butterfingers.
Notes
- Use a butter cake recipe or mix instead of the chocolate.
- Try substituting chopped Heath bars for the Butterfingers.
- If you have leftover cake, which is unlikely, be sure to keep it tightly covered in the refrigerator.
- I’ve made this with homemade chocolate cake and with a boxed mix and there really isn’t much difference. This is one of those cakes that you can make when you need something super easy.
- It is much better if you can keep it until the next day- but you absolutely must let it chill for at least 6 to 8 hours.
