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!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If you can, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar Together: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cake. Make sure you cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy.
- Add the Eggs One at a Time: Gradually adding the eggs one at a time will help prevent the cake from curdling.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients Separately: This will help ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the cake batter.
- Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a Bundt Pan: A Bundt pan is the perfect shape for this cake. It will help create a moist, evenly-baked cake.
- Bake the Cake at the Correct Temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cake to fall.
- Test the Cake for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Allow the Cake to Cool Completely: Before you frost the cake, allow it to cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
The Better Than Sex Cake is a delicious, decadent dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. With its moist, chocolatey cake layers and creamy, chocolate frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you are looking for a truly unforgettable dessert, give this cake a try. You won't be disappointed.
