Moist, fluffy, and packed with Butterfinger or peanut butter cups, this cake is the perfect treat to satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup crushed Butterfinger or peanut butter cups
• 1 cup whipped topping
• 1 cup chocolate shavings or chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until creamy.

Add the heavy cream and beat until well combined.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in the crushed Butterfinger or peanut butter cups.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.

Top the cooled cake with whipped topping, followed by the chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

To ensure the cake is evenly baked, rotate the baking dish halfway through the 35-40 minute baking time.

Don’t overmix the batter, as this will result in a dense cake.

Use high-quality chocolate for the shavings or chips, as it will give the best flavor.

You can customize the cake by using different types of candy pieces, such as M&M’s or chopped peanut butter cups, instead of Butterfinger.

If you’re not a fan of whipped topping, you can replace it with whipped cream or even a scoop of ice cream.

Due to the high richness of this cake, it’s best served in small slices.

Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

You can prepare the cake a day in advance, but it’s best to add the whipped topping and chocolate shavings just before serving.
