Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
9x13 Baking Pan

Ingredients

15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix 432 grams (1 box), such as Betty Crocker Devil's Food
1¼ cups water 284 grams
½ cup vegetable oil 100 grams
3 large eggs 150 grams
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 396 grams (1 can)
14 ounces caramel sauce 396 grams, plus more for garnish
8 ounces whipped topping 227 grams, thawed, such as Cool Whip
½ cup chopped toffee candy 78 grams

Instructions

Bake the chocolate cake in a 9x13-inch pan according to the directions on the cake mix box.
15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix, 1¼ cups water, ½ cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly over the top of the cake. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce.
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounces caramel sauce
Pour the caramel mixture over the warm cake, making sure to fill the holes.
Cover the cake and refrigerate it for 1 hour.
Once the cake has chilled, spread whipped topping on top and sprinkle with chopped toffee. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce, if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
8 ounces whipped topping, ½ cup chopped toffee candy

Notes

Try not to poke holes all the way through to the bottom of the cake, just make a pocket for the caramel mixture to collect.
Chopped Heath bars are a wonderful option for the toffee candy topping. Chopped Butterfinger, Snickers, or Reese's cups would also be delicious!
When choosing a chocolate cake mix, devil's food is my go-to. It's slightly richer than classic chocolate cake mix, with the same great chocolate flavor.
Make this dessert ahead of time! This lush tastes even better the longer it chills - be sure to keep it covered in the refrigerator so it stays fresh.
Before adding the whipped topping, make sure the cake is completely cool (an hour in the refrigerator should do the trick!). If the cake is still warm, the whipped topping will melt quickly.

Storage: Store better than sex cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
