This decadent cake is the only chocolate cake that I like to eat, otherwise I much prefer white or vanilla cake. Growing up we called this dessert ooey gooey chocolate cake but since then I have learned that most people call it “better than sex cake” or some variation of that.
Whatever you choose to call it, it will taste amazing!

Instructions
Time needed: 2 hours
- Make the Boxed Cake
First things first: to make the chocolate cake according to the box instructions or your favorite chocolate cake recipe. Either will work as long as you make a sheet cake in a 9×13 pan.
Once it is done (you can stick a toothpick or knife in the cake and it comes out clean) then let it cool.
- Poke Holes
Next you are going to poke holes all over the top of the cake as shown in the photo. Poke the holes about a half inch apart, covering the entire surface of the cake.
- Add the Goo
Now we are going to add the ingredients that make this cake superior to all other chocolate cakes. Pour the caramel topping and the sweetened condensed milk on top of the cake. Use a spatula to spread them over the entire surface and prevent it from pooling in the corners and edges.
- Refrigerate
Now put the cake in the refrigerator for an hour to overnight. Really as long as you need. This is to let the caramel and sweetened condensed milk completely soak into the sponge cake and get nice and moist.
- Top it Off
Finally, once you are ready to serve the cake (or it’s done setting) top the cake with an 8 oz container of whipped cream and crushed toffee candy. Now you are ready to serve and enjoy!
Better than Anything Chocolate Cake
This chocolate cake is sure to be a hit with whomever you decide to share it with and a family favorite in your home like it was in ours.
What was your favorite dessert growing up? Or today? I am always looking to find new desserts to try.
Be sure to try other family favorite desserts like this (much lighter!) strawberry poke cake. Or these no-bake tiger cookies! Another childhood favorite of mine.
