Better Than Sex Cake

Made with a few simple ingredients, this BTS Cake is the easiest cake you'll ever make. Make it a day ahead of time so the cake can absorb all the flavors and moisture from the sweetened milk and caramel!

Equipment

mixing bowl
13x9-inch cake pan

Ingredients

1 box Devil’s food cake mix plus ingredients to make it
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14-ounce)
¾ cup caramel sauce (180ml)
1 container Cool whip (8-ounce)
3 Heath candy bars chopped

Instructions

Bake the devil’s food cake according to the directions for a 13x9-inch cake. Cool for 20 minutes or until warm, not hot.
Using a wooden skewer or fork, poke holes all over the cake. Pour the condensed milk over the cake, tilting the pan as you pour to evenly coat and fill the holes. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or cover and chill overnight.
When ready to serve, spread the Cool whip over the top of the cake. Sprinkle with chopped candy bars. Slice into squares to serve. The cake can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Notes

When poking the holes in the cake, make sure not to poke through to the bottom. You don’t want the condensed milk and caramel to leak out the bottom.
I used a box devil’s cake mix to make it easier, but feel free to make your own chocolate cake or German chocolate cake from scratch.
I infuse this chocolate poke cake with store-bought caramel sauce for ease, but try my homemade caramel sauce if you have the time!
For more chocolate flavors, swap the caramel sauce for hot fudge.
Not a fan of Heath bars? Use chocolate chips, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Snickers, Oreos, or another chocolate bar of your choice. You can even use a mix of multiple bars.
