Gluten-Free Butterfinger Cream Cake

Make a quick, easy dessert with this Gluten-Free Butterfinger Cream Cake!

This easy Gluten-Free Butterfinger Cream Cake was inspired by a recipe that my Great Aunt passed on to me, it’s a simple cake with the base Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake.

If you do not need this to be gluten-free, you could technically cheat and purchase a premade Angel Food Cake from the store.

Are Butterfinger Bars Gluten-Free?

As of the writing of this post, YES! Butterfinger Bars are gluten-free with the exception of the Butterfinger Crisp bar. It should clearly say “gluten-free” on the bars that you buy similar to this picture.

That being said, remember to always check all ingredients before proceeding with this recipe as sometimes they can change over time!

Can you use a different candy bar for this cake?

Gluten-Free Butterfinger Cream Cake consists of three main layers, cake, icing, and crushed candy bars.

This means that if you would prefer a different candy bar, you can certainly swap out the Butterfinger for one that you think would taste great with cake and icing.

Tips for Making Gluten-Free Butterfinger Cream Cake:

This cake is made with homemade angel food cake. This angel food cake is going to be made with gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Be sure that the flour you choose is an even swap so that means it’s a 1:1 ratio and can be evenly swapped out with traditional flour.

I almost always use Better Batter Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, but King Arthur and Cup 4 Cup work really well too.

While the angel food cake is baking, that is the perfect time to prepare the candy bars and the icing.

The icing or frosting used will be a buttercream whipped frosting with a combination of butter and Cool Whip. It pairs wonderfully with the candy bars.

This cake is best served chilled.

Enjoy this wonderful Gluten-Free dessert!
