A delicious candy bar induced cake!
CAKE BATTER:
- Pre-heat oven to 350.
- Make vanilla pudding per box instructions and set aside.
- In bowl, combine cake box mix, eggs, yolk, milk, butter, bananas and cream cheese (optional), mixing ingredients in one at a time until blended. Add vanilla pudding last, then gradually add 36 crushed Butterfingers. It's ok if there are some lumps in the batter. Set aside.
- Use 1 tsp. butter per mold to prepare two 9" cake pans. Make sure to spread all the way around, including sides. A trick for even, easy distribution: use a clean sheet of paper towel to spread butter around.
- Fill each pan halfway with cake batter.
- Bake 40m. Remove when slightly golden or toothpick in center comes out clean.
HOW TO REMOVE CAKE FROM PAN:
- Cool in pan approximately 20m.
- Run butter knife around entire edge (to separate the cake from the pan).
- Cover pan with a plate and flip both items at the same time.
- Cake should be cool to touch before icing.
ICING INSTRUCTIONS:
- In large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until well blended.
- Gradually add confectioners' sugar and milk, mixing until well blended.
- After icing cake, crush 6 butterfingers and sprinkle on top.
For the cake: I used "Betty Crocker's Moist Yellow Cake Mix". Pudding makes your cake "melt-in-your-mouth" moist. I originally used a whole box of pudding in my cake mix. It tastes great but only adding 1/2 a box will do just as nicely.
For the frosting: I cut my butter and cream cheese into cubes, then heat each one up (separately) in the microwave for 30 seconds to help soften the mix as I was blending with a fork by hand. The original frosting recipe calls for 8 C. of confectioner's sugar, but I modified mine by taste to just under 2 C. Add more or less as desired. If icing is too thin, add confectioners' sugar 1 tbsp at a time. If it's too thick, add more milk, 1 tsp. at a time until icing reaches desired consistency. You can also add crushed Butterfingers inside your frosting (for the middle layer).
