Better Than Sex Cake
Better Than Sex Cake is one of our family favorites, often requested for birthdays and special occasions. When the kids were little, we called it Better Than Homework Cake. But, as they pointed out, almost ANYTHING was better than HOMEWORK! This recipe is so easy, but just feels decadent and impressive.
Better Than Sex Cake
Ingredients
- 1 box Devil's Food Chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 jar caramel or butterscotch ice cream topping
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tub Cool Whip
- mini chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Grease bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 pan.
- Mix cake according to directions, adding the water, oil, and eggs to the mix. Beat together with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and immediately take a sharp knife to cut diagonals across the cake, about 1-2 inches deep. Then cut the opposite direction, creating hashmarks.
- Immediately add the can of sweetened condensed milk, pouring evenly over the top, spreading with a spatula to the edges.
- Pour the caramel or butterscotch topping and spread over the cake as well. Allow to cool.
- Spread Cool Whip over the top of the cake.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top. Serve immediately or keep in fridge until ready to serve. Cover and refrigerate to store. Keeps fresh for about 3 days.
