Provided by ANGELADY41

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cake Mix Cake Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
6 ounces caramel ice cream topping
3 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered toffee, chopped
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan; cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Make slits across the top of the cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping, stirring until smooth and blended. Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)
  • Let cake cool completely, then top with whipped topping. Decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan!

BETTER THAN SEX DESSERT



Better than Sex Dessert image

This has been a family favorite for over 25 years. It is also known as Robert Redford Dessert or lemon torte dessert. I originally found this in a cookbook from my son's school when he was in elementary school in the 80's. It's always the first thing to go at parties and it's nice because you can make it the night before and...

Categories     Puddings

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c chopped pecans or walnuts
1 c flour
1/2 c softened butter
1 c powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 large tub cool whip thawed
3 1/2 c milk
Two-16 oz packages instant lemon, chocolate or vanilla pudding

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix together flour, pecans, and butter to form coarse crumbs. Press firmly into the 9 x 13 pan. Bake in 350 oven for 10-14 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes or more. You can place this in the freezer while preparing other ingredients.
  • 2. In the same bowl you used for the crust beat together powdered sugar and softened cream cheese with the electric mixer (it is very important that cream cheese is at room temperature or you will get lumps). After it is fluffy fold in 1/2 tub cool whip mixing lightly until combined.
  • 3. After crust is completely cooled, spread cream cheese/cool whip mixture over crust. This is tricky so do it in smooth motions. Put in refrigerator while preparing pudding.
  • 4. To prepare pudding, put both packages of pudding mix in a bowl and whisk in 2 cups cold milk and whip by hand until smooth. Make sure everything is combined well and pudding is very smooth.
  • 5. Spread pudding over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining cool whip. Chop up a few nuts finely and sprinkle over top. Cool in refrigerator for two hours or overnight covered with plastic wrap.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: For the best flavor and texture, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots on the skin.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a creamy frosting: A creamy frosting, such as cream cheese frosting or whipped cream frosting, will complement the rich flavor of the cake.
