The Best Butterfinger Cake Recipes

OVER-THE-TOP BUTTERFINGER WAFFLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle maker that makes round waffles to medium heat. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.
• Pour 1/2 cup batter into the center of the waffle maker, close the lid and cook until the cake is cooked through and springs back when touched, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove the cake from the waffle maker using a fork and set it aside on a wire rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter for 7 waffled cakes total.
• Meanwhile, beat the butter and peanut butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar about 1/2 cup at a time, beating between additions, until incorporated. Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt and beat until smooth. Finely chop 1 candy bar (about 1 cup) and fold in the pieces. Transfer the buttercream to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag and snip the tip.
• Put 1 waffled cake on a cake stand or plate. Pipe a layer of buttercream onto the cake, covering completely, and top with another waffled cake. Repeat with the remaining buttercream and waffled cakes.
• Cut the remaining candy bars into ten 1/2-inch thick pieces (reserve any crumbs) and decorate the rim of the cake with them. Roughly chop any remaining candy bars and sprinkle them along with the reserved crumbs in the center of the cake, creating a mound. Chill for at least 2 hours to set completely. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.

BUTTERFINGER BUNDT CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10- to 15-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the milk solids begin to turn golden brown. Remove the pot from the heat and continue stirring until the butter has cooled slightly. Transfer to a large bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon of the browned butter in a separate small bowl for the glaze.
• Add the ice cube to the larger bowl of browned butter. Set in the ice bath (making sure no water gets into the butter) and whisk for about 5 minutes, until cooled, milky in color, and thickened, but not completely solid.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add sugar to the bowl with the browned butter and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla bean paste and Greek yogurt, and beat until just combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
• Fold in the Butterfinger Bits or crushed Butterfinger bars with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
• Bake the cake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
• While the cake cools, make the glaze: If needed, melt the reserved tablespoon of brown butter. Transfer to a medium bowl with the powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk, and whisk until smooth.
• Turn the cake out of the pan. Let cool for another 10-15 minutes, or until no longer warm to the touch.
