Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- Extra Butterfinger pieces for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined and pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, beat the peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
- Once the cakes are cooled, spread a layer of peanut butter frosting on top of one cake layer. Sprinkle half of the crushed Butterfinger over the frosting.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining peanut butter frosting. Garnish with extra crushed Butterfinger pieces on the top.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your decadent Butterfinger Cake!
