Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box devil's food cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1.25 cups water
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 2 cups whipped topping (thawed)
- 1.5 cups chopped chocolate candy bars (e.g., Snickers, Milky Way, or similar)
- 0.5 cup toffee bits
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the devil's food cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar tool, poke holes all over the surface of the cake, spacing the holes approximately 1 inch apart.
Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Next, pour the caramel sauce across the cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula to fill the holes. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
Once the cake is cool, spread the whipped topping evenly over the surface of the cake. Be sure to cover all the edges.
Sprinkle the chopped candy bars and toffee bits evenly over the whipped topping. If desired, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for added decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and allows the cake to firm up.
Slice into squares and enjoy your Better Than a Candy Bar Cake!
