Paula Deen's Butterfinger Cake

"This is a fabulous, easy to make recipe I found in the "Cooking with Paula Deen" magazine - a sure winner for all those who love chocolate and butterfingers! The only thing I do differently with all my cake mixes is to use buttermilk in place of the water."

  1. Delicious as always Paula. This Cake could get me in real trouble.
     
  2. I don't usually review but........THIS WAS THE BEST CAKE EVER!!!! Great and simple.
     
  3. I used a carrot cake mix and everyone loved it. I also used cool whip chocolate frosting instead of cool whip but it is awesome either way you make it.
     
  4. Awesome!! I made it using Butter cake mix, as I had seen a picture of this with that, also my boys are not huge chocolate fans. It was fantastic!!!! My one son now wants it as his birthday cake!
     
  5. This cake is DELICIOUS!!! 5 of us devoured it as though we'd never had cake before. So moist! I substituted the buttermilk in place of water also. I think I'm going to try that with all cakes now! Great tip! Oh, I added one more butterfinger.
