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:

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 the ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Whenever possible, use room temperature ingredients. This will help them mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • 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 light and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the Eggs One at a Time: Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use the Right Pan: Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for this cake. A larger or smaller pan will result in a different baking time.
  • Bake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the cake. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost the cake, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

The original Better Than Sex Cake is a delicious and decadent cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, and whipped cream, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you're looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, this is the cake for you.
