Absolutely, let’s break it down step by step for a detailed Better Than Anything Cake:
Ingredients:
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- Ingredients needed to make the cake (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (12-16 ounces) caramel sauce
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- Heath toffee bits or crushed Heath bars for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, combining the mix with the required eggs, oil, and water.
- Bake:
- Pour the cake batter into a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven according to the recommended time on the box.
- Cool and Poke Holes:
- Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes once it’s out of the oven.
- While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. The more holes, the better!
- Sweetened Condensed Milk:
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. This adds moisture and sweetness to every bite.
- Caramel Sauce:
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly (you can do this on the stove or in the microwave).
- Pour the caramel sauce over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes. This adds a rich caramel flavor to the cake.
- Cool Completely:
- Allow the cake to cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Whipped Topping:
- Once the cake is cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top. This adds a light and creamy texture.
- Toffee Topping:
- Sprinkle Heath toffee bits or crushed Heath bars generously on top of the whipped topping. This provides a delightful crunch and more caramel flavor.
