BETTER THAN SEX CAKE (TOFFEE BAR CAKE)



Better Than Sex Cake (Toffee Bar Cake) image

This was one of my favorite cakes that my mom made. Everyone called it better than sex cake. The prep time includes freezer time for it to set.

Provided by Miss Diggy

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box chocolate cake, made according to instuctions for two 8 inch round cakes
1 container Cool Whip
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
6 Skor candy bars, crushed

Steps:

  • Mix cool whip, syrup, and equivalent to 5 skor bars together.
  • Spread some on top of one cake, and place other cake directly on top of that one.
  • Put more on top of that cake and on sides.
  • Sprinkle the rest of skor bar crumbs on top.
  • Put in freezer for about an hour, or until firm.

Tips:

  • To ensure your cake bakes evenly, use room-temperature ingredients and a properly greased and floured baking pan.
  • Don't overbeat the cake batter, as this can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee sauce by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the toffee forms a hard ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful when handling the hot toffee sauce, as it can cause severe burns. Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
  • For a richer toffee flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to drizzle the toffee sauce over the cake.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

This toffee bar cake is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the rich toffee sauce, the moist cake, and the creamy frosting is sure to please everyone.
