Better Than Sex Cake Recipe

The Better Than Sex Cake is a rich, layered dessert that starts with a moist devil's food cake base. It features a generous infusion of a sweet caramel and condensed milk mixture soaked into holes poked in the cake, creating a sticky, indulgent texture. The topping of whipped cream adds a light contrast, while the chopped Heath or Skor candy bars provide a crunchy, chocolate-toffee finish. This cake offers a combination of creamy, chewy, and crunchy elements that make it well-suited for gatherings and celebrations where a decadent dessert is desired.

Description

Better Than Sex Cake is centered around a devil's food cake baked in a 9x13 inch pan. After baking, the cake is gently punctured with holes to help the sweet mixture of sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping soak evenly, creating a moist, luscious texture throughout. After cooling and chilling, the dessert is finished with a layer of whipped topping that balances the density and sweetness of the cake and caramel. Chopped candy bars on top introduce a crunchy texture and complement the caramel notes with chocolate and toffee flavors.

The cake is refrigerated before serving to allow the layers and flavors to meld fully, resulting in a dessert that is sticky, creamy, and texturally interesting. The combination of the rich cake, the caramel-infused sweetness, and crisp candy pieces makes it suitable as a festive dessert or a comforting treat.

This recipe involves layering textures and flavors thoughtfully without complicated techniques, making it approachable for home bakers who want a dessert that stands out in richness and indulgence without intricate preparation. Proper chilling and gentle handling when poking the cake holes ensure the best soaking effect and presentation.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 15.25 ounces devil's food cake mix
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 12.25 ounces caramel flavored topping
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, frozen
  • 4 Heath candy bar chopped, or Skor candy bar

Instructions

  1. Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan. Cool for about 15 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the cake.
  2. In a small bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping. Slowly pour caramel mixture over the cake, letting it sink into the holes.
  3. Let cake cool completely (I usually cover it and put it in the fridge until I'm ready to serve it). Top cooled cake with whipped topping. 
  4. Decorate the top of the cake with chopped candy bars. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
