Ingredients
Scale
Cake Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 oz.) box Chocolate Cake Mix
- Ingredients called for on cake mix box (typically eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
Fillings and Toppings
- 1 Jar Caramel Ice Cream Topping (reserve 5 tablespoons)
- 1 (16 oz.) container Vanilla Frosting
- ¾ cup crumbled Butterfinger Cups minis, Butterfinger Bites, or Butterfinger Fun-Size
Instructions
- Prepare Cake Batter: Mix the cake ingredients according to the package instructions, then stir in 1 cup of sour cream and 1 cup of chocolate chips to enrich the batter and add texture.
- Bake the Cake: Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan and bake as directed on the cake mix package until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Poke Holes in Cake: Remove the cake from the oven when still warm. Using the end of a wooden spoon, gently poke holes all over the surface to allow caramel infusion.
- Add Caramel Filling: Save 5 tablespoons of caramel for topping. Pour the remaining caramel generously into the holes so it soaks into the cake.
- Chill the Cake: Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set and flavors to meld.
- Frost the Cake: Remove the cake from the fridge and spread the vanilla frosting evenly over the top.
- Top with Butterfinger and Caramel: Sprinkle the crumbled Butterfinger pieces over the frosting, then drizzle with the reserved 5 tablespoons of caramel sauce.
- Serve: Slice the cake into portions and enjoy this rich, indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Use full-fat sour cream to enhance moistness and richness.
- Butterfinger pieces can be adjusted to taste or substituted with other crunchy peanut butter candy if preferred.
- For best results, serve the cake chilled but bring to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing if desired.
- This cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- When poking holes, make sure they are about 1-inch apart to evenly distribute caramel.
