📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add the unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix it with the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the crushed Butterfinger candy bars gently into the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

8. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, and melted butter until it forms a crumb topping.

9. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter, followed by the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed Butterfinger candy bars.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

11. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
