Butterfinger Cake

During one of my many ventures of browsing food blogs late at night while the kids are finally sleeping, I stumbled upon this recipe. I love Butterfinger candy bars, I love chocolate cake and I think caramel is pretty good... so putting them all together sounded like a great idea.

I found this recipe at Stirring the Pot, an awesome blog filled with recipes that I want to try. I was just waiting for a sweet tooth moment and I had the Butterfinger Cake in mind. The sweet tooth came on around 7:30 at night, so by midnight we were trying the gooey goodness. Yum

Ingredients:
1 box Devil's Food cake mix
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tub of cool whip
2 Butterfinger Bars, chopped

Directions:
1. Make cake as directed. About 5 minutes before cake is done, mix caramel and condensed milk in bowl.
2. When cake is done, remove from oven and poke holes all over cake with fork.
3. Slowly pour caramel and condensed milk mixture completely over cake. I used a measuring cup, the pour spot helped greatly. Pour all of it, don't be shy.
4. Let cool. Real cool.
5. Smear cool whip on top of cake and then end it all off with Butterfinger pieces.
6. Have a piece, even if it is midnight. :)
Yum

I thought this cake was great. The cool whip is an awesome touch, it gives the cake a light touch. Real frosting might be a bit much for the Butterfinger Cake, the cake is so rich that the Cool Whip is a relief. Everyone loves this recipe, we will have it again someday. Thanks Stirring the Pot!!
