A very indulgent (and easy) dessert recipe!

Sometimes I want a dessert overload, but don’t have a ton of time. That’s when using a cake mix is ideal. You can add and tweak and make a gourmet tasting cake that starts with a cake mix.

My love of baking actually began with using cake mixes. I was about nine years old when I starting baking so that’s understandable for a child. I grew as a baker from there, but everyone has to start somewhere and I still love using cake mixes. They are convenient and quick and you need just one box instead of three or four different items.

I digress.

Cake Mix Butterfinger Pound Cake with Chocolate Ganache is a buttery and tender cake loaded with Butterfinger candy bars. The candy bars give it a slight peanut butter and chocolate flavor with just the right amount of crunch.

This is not a cake you can let sit in the pan for a long time after taking out of the oven. The Butterfinger candy bars tend to sink to the bottom and once they get cold they will stick to the pan, regardless of how much non-stick spray or shortening you’ve greased the pan with. Therefore, I recommend turning it out on your serving platter no longer than 10 minutes after removing it from the oven.

As well, if the cake does happen to stick to the pan, you can totally cover it with the ganache frosting.

I used a Butter flavored cake mix, you can use a white cake mix or even a chocolate cake mix. Obviously, the chocolate cake mix will give it a different flavor, but I’ve tried it and it’s also really very good.

I used this recipe for Chocolate Frosting with Cocoa Powder and Powdered Sugar.

    Can you use something other than a Bundt pan-like an oblong pan?

      Yes, as long as it holds the same volume. You need to allow 2 inches for the cake to rise.

    Love this recipe, especially because it uses cake mix. I only have one question; I would like to add some additional peanut butter in the cake. Wondering if I should alter the recipe after adding about 1/3 to 1/2 c. peanut butter

      yes, I think you can just add that amount of peanut butter without changing anything else in the recipe

    Oh my! Hope I’m not being ignorant but what is 3/4 oz of pudding?

      02.18.18 at 6:21 pm

      It’s the small size (box) of pudding (not the big box)

      Linda –

      I think she meant 3.4 ounce box of pudding mix not 3/4.

    Oh my gah, I am SO in love with this recipe, Paula! Butterfingers are my 2nd favorite candy bat (props to Take 5), but what I love most about it is the jazzing up a convenience cake mix idea.
    I don’t typically use them because of my weird food allergies, but there are lots of recipes for DIY cake mixes that adapt perfectly for recipes like this one.
    PINNED and I can’t wait to try it!
