Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 chocolate cake baked in a 9×13” pan
  • 1 recipecaramel sauce or one 16 oz jar caramel topping
  • 7 ouncessweetened condensed milk*
  • 1 1/2 cupsheavy whipping cream

  • 1/4 cuppowdered sugar
  • 3 Butterfinger bars chopped

Instructions

Instructions

  • Place the baked chocolate cake in its 9×13” pan on a flat surface. If the cake is warm, let it sit a few minutes so it will not melt the toppings, then use a fork or wooden skewer to poke holes evenly across the top (about every 1–2 inches).
  • Pour the caramel sauce (either the full amount called for by the caramel recipe or the contents of one 16 oz jar) evenly over the cake, then pour 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake so the liquids sink into the holes.
  • Set the cake aside and let it cool completely to room temperature so the sauces absorb into the cake.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ Tablespoons creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Beat until smooth.
  • With the mixer running on low, slowly pour in 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream. Increase speed as needed and whip until stiff peaks form and the mixture holds its shape.
  • Spread the peanut butter whipped cream evenly over the cooled cake.
  • Sprinkle the 3 chopped Butterfinger bars evenly over the top.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour, or up to one day, before slicing and serving.
