What is Better than Sex Cake?
This infamous cake is also referred to as, “Better than Anything Cake” and “Is it really better than sex cake?”. It’s a chocolate cake with caramel and sweet milk poured throughout and topped with whipped topping.
What I love about this recipe:
Box Mix or Homemade – Obviously I prefer homemade chocolate cake, but you can use a cake mix for ease! That Caramel Sauce! I’ve used a jar of Mrs Richardson’s caramel topping when I was in a hurry, but honestly, it’s amazing with the homemade caramel! Heath Bar Topping – Use a bag of heath bits, to save time (you can find them by the chocolate chips at your grocery store). Store leftover heath bits in your freezer, or use them for this yummy trifle.
How to Make Better Than Sex Cake:
Bake Chocolate Cake: Any chocolate cake will work but we love this Hershey’s Chocolate Cake (baked in a 9×13” pan). Use the handle of a wooden spoon to carefully poke wholes all over the cake. Pour Sauce: Pour caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk evenly on top of the cake. Spread Whipped Cream: Top with fresh whipping cream, spreading it to the edges. Add Candy: Sprinkle candy on top, we love crushed heath candy bars. Store leftover better than sex cake in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Make Ahead Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Make the chocolate cake up to 1 week ahead of time. Cover it well and store in freezer. Thaw completely before poking holes and adding topping. Make the homemade caramel sauce several days in advance, to save time. It can be poured on the cake warm or cold.
