Better Than Sex (Anything) Cake
Better Than Sex Cake aka Better Than Anything Cake is a rich, ultra-moist chocolate cake soaked with sweet caramel and topped with fluffy whipped topping and candy bar pieces.
Ingredients
- 1 boxed chocolate cake mix, plus the ingredients on the back of the box
- OR homemade cake ingredients below:
Chocolate Cake
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 12 oz. jar caramel sauce (ice cream topping works well)
- 1 8 oz. container whipping topping, thawed
- 1 cup Heath bars or toffee bits, crushed
- chocolate syrup or caramel drizzle
Instructions
- If using a cake mix: Prepare and bake the chocolate cake in a 9x13-inch pan according to package directions.
- To make the chocolate cake homemade: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Stir in the hot water. The batter will be thin-this is normal! Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for about 10-15 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake about 1 inch apart.
- In a small bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk with caramel sauce. Slowly pour evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle crushed toffee bits over the top and drizzle with chocolate syrup or caramel if desired. Slice, serve, and watch it disappear.
