Butterfinger Poke Cake
Butterfinger Poke Cake: So luscious,but only 5 ingredients! Easy to make and even easier to eat!
Poke Cakes are such a crowd pleaser. They are easy to make and always go over well.
They’re great to take to summer BBQs,church suppers, or family reunions.
This butterfinger poke cake is a moist yellow cake filled with rich caramel. Then the whole thing is topped off with light whipped topping. I really like this because it is not as heavy as frosting. (Although I do love frosting, my family often complains it is “too” sweet).
Too sweet is as logical to me as:
a. A cookie with too many chocolate chips
b. Nachos with too much cheese
c. Popcorn with too much butter
Butterfinger Poke Cake Tips:
- This cake would also be tasty with chocolate or marble cake mix.
- If you forget to thaw your Cool Whip try floating it in a bowl of warm water. Do not microwave ,or it may separate.
- Feel free to use your favorite candy bar. I bet this would also be awesome with Snickers or Twix! I’m trying that next time!
Butterfinger Poke Cake Trivia Tidbits
- In an early marketing campaign, Nestle dropped Butterfinger candy bars from airplanes. Chocolate falling from the sky? Sounds like a dream come true!
- Remember the “end of the world” in 2012 when the Mayan calendar ended? Butterfinger hopped on board ,and cut a working QR crop circle into a Kansas field.

I cannot find the recipe for the Butterfinger Poke Cake. I have clicked on the other cakes and they have recipes but I can’t find the Butterfinger one. Where can I find it?
It should be right here let me know if you don’t see it Lori:https://www.bakingbeauty.net/butterfinger-poke-cake/
The recipe appears to be “unfinished.” After you pour on the condensed milk and caramel,
is this when you add the cool whip and chopped butterfingers? I make a similar cake with
Heath bars, but my husband loves butterfingers. Can’t wait to try this one.
I’m so sorry Claudia. You are exactly right I just updated the recipe, thanks for pointing it out. 🙂
