Hip And Thigh Cake
A decadent layered cake featuring chocolate, caramel, and cool whipped topping, topped with crumbled Butterfinger bars—perfect for parties, birthdays, or indulgent celebrations.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Make the German chocolate cake according to the package directions and bake.
- While the cake is hot, punch holes into the top of the cake to allow the glaze to seep in.
- Mix Eagle Brand milk with caramel ice cream topping and pour over the hot cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Spread Cool Whip evenly over the cooled cake.
- Crumble Butterfinger candy bars and sprinkle over the top of the Cool Whip.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the Eagle Brand milk and caramel mixture. You can substitute the German chocolate cake mix with a devil's food cake mix for a chocolaty twist. If you want a lighter option, use a low-fat Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream. To enhance the texture, you might also fold in some chopped pecans before pouring the glaze.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. Serve it alongside fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast. For a fun twist, try it with a slice of Caitlin'S Favorite Blueberry Pancakes for brunch gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Hip And Thigh Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the texture of the Cool Whip, it's best not to freeze this cake as it may alter its consistency. If you do freeze it, allow it to thaw in the fridge before serving.
