Yum. I had one piece at work, and promptly changed my plans for Valentine's Day dinner to include it. I hear there's a lot of different recipes for this out there, but this is the one that I definitely enjoyed!I would make this cake at least 6 hours or so before you need it, and the night before would be even better. The longer it sits for the toppings to soak in, the better it gets. Really--I had this cake leftover for over a week, and it was far better on the last day.
Better than Sex Cake
This reminds me of one of my favorite cakes that my mom used to make, but easier.
Ingredients
1 package devils food cake mix
Eggs and oil as required by your mix (usually 1/3 cup oil and 3 eggs)
1 can condensed milk
1 cup butterscotch topping
1 cup hot fudge topping
1 container Cool Whip
a few handfuls of toffee, chopped or crumbled (Heath bars work, but I used leftover toffee from my Mom's Christmas candy)
Directions
- Bake the cake according to the package instructions.
- Let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- Use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake--not big or deep, but just to perforate it enough for liquids to soak in.
- Dump the can of condensed milk over the cake, spreading it as evenly as you can. Let it soak in for around half an hour or until it's mostly absorbed. It may not absorb well right away, but you can still put the other toppings on.
- Dump on the cup of butterscotch, again spreading it as evenly as possible and letting it sit for awhile. Repeat the process with the hot fudge.
- Let the cake sit until you are ready to serve. If the cake will be sitting out overnight, refrigerate it.
- Just before serving, top with the Cool Whip and the toffee crumbles.
