Better Than Sex Cake is an indulgent, layered chocolate dessert combining a rich, moist chocolate cake soaked in sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce, topped with toffee bits, whipped topping, and drizzles of caramel and chocolate for an unforgettable taste experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box Chocolate cake mix (Any brand)
  • 3 large Eggs (Room temperature)
  • ½ cup Oil (Vegetable or canola)
  • 1 cup Water (As per cake mix instructions)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (Optional, for extra flavor)

Sauce and Toppings

  • 1 can 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk (Adds moisture)
  • 1 cup Caramel sauce (Warmed for better absorption)
  • ½ cup Chocolate sauce (Optional)
  • 1 cup Toffee bits (Like Heath or Skor)
  • 8 oz Whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
  • ¼ cup Chocolate shavings (For garnish)
  • 2 tbsp Caramel drizzle (For final touch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well blended.
  2. Bake the Cake: Pour the cake batter evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly.
  3. Poke Holes in the Cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake to allow the liquids to soak in deeply.
  4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Caramel Sauce: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, letting it soak into the holes. Follow by pouring the warmed caramel sauce over the top, spreading gently for even coverage.
  5. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and enhance flavor absorption.
  6. Add Toppings: Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly across the cake’s surface. Sprinkle the toffee bits generously over the whipped topping.
  7. Add Garnishes: Drizzle the chocolate sauce (if using) and caramel drizzle over the top. Finish by sprinkling chocolate shavings for an elegant and delicious garnish.
  8. Serve: Slice the cake into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich texture and decadent flavors in every bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Warming the caramel sauce aids in better absorption into the cake.
  • Allow plenty of time for the cake to chill to develop flavors and firm up.
  • For a homemade whipped topping, whip heavy cream with a bit of sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Optional chocolate sauce adds extra richness but can be omitted for a less sweet cake.
