One of my favorite no-bake cake recipes is the rich, delicious, Butterfinger Cake. If you’re looking for a quick and easy, yet delectable, dessert to prepare for any occasion, a Butterfinger Cake always proves to be a real crowd-pleaser.The ingredients needed for this scrumptious dessert include:

• 1 Angel Food Cake
• 4 Egg Whites
• 2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 1 Stick of Butter
• 1 (16 oz.) of Cool Whip
• 6 Butterfinger Candy Bars

To begin, separate 4 egg whites and beat them until they become fluffy;

add the stick of melted butter, powered sugar, and cool whip into a bowl; stir until well-blended. Use a 9 x 13” pan to pinch up half of the Angel Food cake into small pieces, filling the bottom of the pan. Next, pour half of the Cool Whip mix over the cake pieces. Then take 3 of the Butterfinger candy bars and smash them into small bits (pounding them while still in the wrapper with a coffee cup works well for me). Sprinkle the pieces over the top of the cake and Cool Whip mix already prepared in your pan. Repeat the steps, using the remaining Angel Food cake, Cool Whip mix and candy bars to make layers.

I also like this recipe because you can personally tailor the recipe by substituting some of the main ingredients. If Butterfingers aren’t your favorite candy bar, or if you are watching your calories, don’t dismiss the recipe yet. You can substitute and add any brand of candy bar (although the easier to smash into smaller pieces, the better). You may also look for packages of candy bars that come pre-prepared in “bite” sizes.

If you are preparing a Butterfinger cake for yourself or friends, and want to cut out some of the calories, there are a couple of substitutes that you can use. Try using health or nutrient bars in lieu of candy bars. Also, use low calorie Cool Whip to trim down on some of the calories.

Regardless of the ingredients you decide to add or substitute, Butterfinger cake is simple and easy to prepare, even for us novices.
