Frequently Asked Questions
Although I am surprised when readers ask me that question, I’ve published two other recipes with Butterfingers, and I’ve always been asked that question. It seems that Butterfingers are a uniquely American treat. Butterfingers are candy bars covered in milk chocolate with a crunchy peanut butter center. Wunderbars are apparently the Canadian and UK versions.
Sadly, no. In this recipe, Devil’s food is so chocolatey and rich that it just has a slight bitterness that offsets the sweet topping and caramel filling. You can really use anything you like in this recipe. I probably wouldn’t go for strawberry or raspberry blue. The vanilla or marble flavors are also safe choices if you’re not a fan of butterfinger cake.
Poke cakes are pretty much what they sound like. The cake is poked with holes with a fork or thin wooden spoon, usually on the top. In most cases, it is filled with sweetened condensed milk, pudding, or Jell-O, but sometimes with jam or jellied fruit. To enhance the flavor of the best father day cake, extra flavor is infused throughout. A slice of cake will reveal little rivulets of gooey deliciousness throughout.
You can do that! Cake and topping can be frozen separately or as a fully assembled dessert. You can freeze this for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Put the frozen food in the refrigerator overnight to thaw.

- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping in a medium bowl. Use a fork to poke holes in the cake. There are a lot of holes!
- To fill the crevices with caramel, you need plenty of them. Put caramel mixture on cake and drizzle it over it. To cool the cake, put it in the refrigerator.
- The cake can be topped with whipped topping after it has cooled. Afterwards, sprinkle the candy with crushed Butterfinger pieces.
Notes
Due to the whipped topping, the cake should be kept in the refrigerator until it is time to serve it. Alternatively, you can drizzle with chocolate syrup or scatter some extra Butterfinger bars on top before serving. Using a Devil's Food Cake mix also makes this cake very good.
