Butterfinger Dump Cake
Warning: This Butterfinger Dump Cake is A.K.A. The Cake You’ll Have to Hide from Yourself
Look, I’m just going to be honest here—this Butterfinger Dump Cake is dangerous. Like, “eat half the pan before realizing what you’ve done” dangerous.
It’s got everything you need to completely abandon self-control: gooey sweetened condensed milk, rich chocolate cake, melty chocolate chips, and those irresistibly crispy, peanut-buttery Butterfinger bits that make your dentist nervous.
And the best part? No complicated steps, no fancy baking skills required—just dump, bake, and try not to inhale it straight from the dish. (No judgment if you do.)
Butterfinger Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix because making cake from scratch is for overachievers
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk a.k.a. liquid gold
- 1 cup chopped Butterfinger bars resist the urge to eat them all before baking
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips because more chocolate is always the answer
- 1/2 cup butter melted (the secret ingredient to happiness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This gives you time to snack on some Butterfingers before baking.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, unless you enjoy chiseling caramelized goodness off your bakeware like a dessert archaeologist.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the baking dish. Admire its glossy, sugary beauty.
- Sprinkle the chocolate cake mix evenly over the top. No mixing required—just let the magic happen.
- Scatter those crunchy, peanut-buttery Butterfinger bits and chocolate chips on top. Try not to drool.
- Drizzle the melted butter over everything like you’re the star of a very indulgent cooking show.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is set and golden. Let it cool slightly (if you have the patience).
- Grab a fork and get in there. Sharing is optional.
