Exact Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to make this yummy Better Than Sex Cake:

• 1 box (15.25 oz) Devil’s Food cake mix
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 7 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 8 oz caramel sauce
• 3 1/4 bars (1.4 oz each) chocolate-covered toffee
• 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

The cake mix forms the base of your dessert. You’ll mix it with water, oil, and eggs to create a moist chocolate cake. The sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce blend to make a sweet, gooey topping.

For extra crunch and flavor, you’ll chop up the chocolate-covered toffee bars. Most of this goes on top of the caramel layer, with a little saved for the final topping.

The whipped topping adds a light, fluffy layer to finish off your cake. Make sure to thaw it before use so it spreads easily.

With these ingredients, you’re all set to create a cake that might just live up to its name!

Instructions

You’ll start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×13-inch pan and give it a light coating of non-stick spray or butter.

In a big bowl, mix the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat it on medium speed until smooth. Pour this batter into your greased pan.

Pop the cake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

Let the cake cool for 5 minutes. Then, use a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top. Don’t go all the way through!

While the cake bakes, warm up the condensed milk and 6 ounces of caramel sauce in a pan. Stir until smooth.

Pour this yummy mix over your warm cake. Spread it out with a spatula. Sprinkle most of the chopped toffee on top, but save 2 tablespoons for later.

Let the cake cool completely, then chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

When you’re ready to serve, spread the whipped topping over the cake. Sprinkle on the rest of the toffee and drizzle with the leftover caramel.

Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious creation!

Possible Substitutes List

You can easily swap out some ingredients in this Better Than Sex Cake recipe. For the cake base, try using chocolate, yellow, or German chocolate cake mix instead of Devil’s Food. If you don’t have caramel sauce, dulce de leche works great too.

No toffee bars? Use crushed Heath bars or butterscotch chips. You can replace the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste. Want less sugar? Use sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat condensed milk.

Here’s a quick list of substitutes:

• Cake mix: Chocolate, yellow, or German chocolate
• Caramel sauce: Dulce de leche or butterscotch sauce
• Toffee bars: Heath bars or butterscotch chips
• Whipped topping: Homemade whipped cream

Feel free to get creative! You might try adding nuts, coconut flakes, or even a splash of rum to make the cake your own. Just remember, these swaps might change the taste and texture a bit, but your cake will still be super yummy!

How To Make It Diabetes-Friendly

To make this cake more diabetes-friendly, you can try some easy swaps. Start by using a sugar-free chocolate cake mix instead of regular Devil’s Food cake mix. This cuts down on sugar and carbs.

For the sweetened condensed milk, use a sugar-free version. You can find these at many grocery stores. If not, try using unsweetened almond milk mixed with a sugar substitute.

Replace the caramel sauce with a sugar-free caramel syrup. These are available in most supermarkets. For the toffee, use sugar-free chocolate chips mixed with chopped nuts for crunch.

Instead of frozen whipped topping, try whipping your own cream with a sugar substitute. Or use a light Greek yogurt for added protein and less fat.

Here’s a quick list of swaps:

• Sugar-free chocolate cake mix
• Sugar-free sweetened condensed milk
• Sugar-free caramel syrup
• Sugar-free chocolate chips + chopped nuts
• Whipped cream with sugar substitute or light Greek yogurt

Remember to check serving sizes. Even with these changes, the cake is still a treat. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

When making this yummy cake, use room temperature eggs. They mix better with the batter. For extra richness, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake mix.

Don’t rush the cooling process. Let the cake cool fully before adding the whipped topping. This helps the layers set nicely.

To make serving easier, cut the cake into squares before adding the final toppings. This way, you won’t mess up the pretty top when cutting.

Store your Better Than Sex Cake in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to 5 days when covered. The flavors actually get better after a day or two!

For a fun twist, try different toppings. Crushed candy bars or nuts can add extra crunch. You can also swap the caramel for butterscotch sauce if you prefer.

If you’re short on time, use store-bought caramel sauce. It works just as well and saves you some steps in the kitchen.

Remember, this cake is very sweet. Cut small pieces when serving. A little goes a long way with this rich dessert!
