Pin This RecipeI’ve been making this Butterfinger Poke Cake for as long as I can remember. I got the recipe from a coworker at one of my very first jobs in The Ham. It has become one of our all-time favorite dessert recipes. It is so good and soooo easy to make. Chicken Legs is always requesting this cake, but I rarely make it because we can’t control ourselves around it! The cake is incredibly moist, and I love the caramel and Butterfingers together. Make this for your next potluck or tailgate party. It will be a huge hit; I promise!

I made this cake last week and it was good! A little sweet for me, but I think I would just use half of the scm and half of the carmel. It was yummy! I posted it on my blog and linked back to you. I have made a few of your recipes. You always seem to take pictures of your food outdoors…you must live somewhere where. Where I live in UT it is cold. Anyway, thanks for the recipe! It is a keeper.
Looks good! Has anyone tried this in cupcake form? Thanks
this dessert turned out sooooo good!!
we call the cakes where you pour SCM in it Better Than Sex cake. divine, and even better then second day.
Chris – I'm not a sweets person either, but this cake is awesome!
Jimmity Cricket I dislike sweets but THIS creation caught my eye. I am totally making this to surprise my family this weekend!
I make the same thing except I use a chocolate cake mix! I love butterfinger cake!! 🙂
OMG – Catherine! I am totally trying the peanut butter reese's version!!! I love reese's!
Wonderful with yellow or chocolate cake mix, and topped with Butterfinger, Heath Bar bits, or even leave the caramel out and top it with crushed Oreos. My favorite is to combine smooth peanut butter with the milk over low heat until smooth, then top the Cool Whip with crushed Reese's Cups
Looks so moist. I've gotta try this out!
My husband's cousin made this for our family reunion this summer and it truely is AMAZING! She made it with Devil's Food Cake and even my husband (who doesn't really like cake) wanted another piece. It went quickly and then people were sitting there trying to scrap every last bit out of the pan.
I can't wait to try this!
Stephanie, one of my older cookbooks has this recipe in it, and everytime I run across it I pause and think I should make it. Your photos are gorgeous and it looks WONderful.
I need to make this. ASAP. How fabulous!
YUMMMMMM!!! 🙂
I can see that being totally everyone's favorite.
For some reason, I've been craving Butterfingers lately.
