Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 9 pieces Butterfinger candy bars
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well integrated.
- Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Use an electric mixer to blend on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. (The batter will be thin—don’t be alarmed!)
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth.
- Add crushed Butterfinger and 2 tablespoons of milk; mix until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving dish. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
- Place the second layer on top, then frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Top with additional crushed Butterfinger for that beautiful finish!
- Slice up your cake and serve it to your loved ones. Brace yourself for the smiles and joy that come from your baking success!
Notes
- Make sure to let the cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of Butterfinger used for the frosting according to your preference.
