I don’t exactly know where this Holy Cow Cake recipe comes from. What I do know is that Momma Daisy has made it for a long time and it is a family fav! I don’t know where its name comes from either… maybe its just “Holy Cow!” good.
This cake starts with a basic chocolate mix, your preference – German Chocolate or Devils Food; soaked in a rich caramel mixture that results with a super moist, “oh-my, that’s amazing cake.” It is then layered with crushed Butterfingers candy bars and a cream cheese-whipped cream frosting. There’s enough going on with this cake that no one will know, or even care that you started with a mix! Super yummy!

July 7, 2010 at 12:38 amYum! We often have cake like this at my dad’s house, but it does not include the cream cheese. I’ll have to pass this tip along. I bet the cream cheese makes it even better!

June 20, 2014 at 12:29 pmWow! This looks wonderful – almost better than a “Better Than Sex Cake.” I live in a senior/handicapped apartment complex, and this is definitely my 4th of July potluck recipe – thanks!
