EASY BUTTERFINGER® CAKE
Angel food cake, Butterfinger® candy bars and Cool Whip® are the well known favorites in this delightful (and easy) no-bake dessert. Looks great in a trifle bowl. I don't even like Butterfinger® bars and I thoroughly enjoy this stuff!! You can do this in a 9x13-inch pan as well, but the trifle looks so nice!

Tips:
- To make sure your cake is moist and fluffy, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture and help the cake rise.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the frosting by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the frosting forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- If you want a thicker frosting, you can add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, you can add more milk.
- For a fun and festive presentation, decorate your cake with chopped Butterfinger candy bars or mini peanut butter cups.
