Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box (18 ounces) Devil’s Food Cake Mix (plus eggs, oil, and water called for on box)
Filling and Toppings
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14-ounce can)
- 1 ½ cups caramel sauce
- 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed
- 3 chocolate covered toffee candy bars, chopped (such as Heath bars or Skor bars)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the Devil’s Food Cake mix according to the package directions, using a 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then carefully remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Poke Holes and Add Caramel: Using a fork, poke holes all over the warm cake to allow flavors to soak in. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the cake, filling the holes with the rich caramel flavor.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Candy: Pour half of the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the caramel layer. Chop one of the candy bars and sprinkle it evenly across the top of the cake. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to chill and set completely.
- Top with Whipped Cream and Candy: Remove the cake from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the top of the cake. Chop the remaining two candy bars and sprinkle them generously over the whipped cream layer.
- Serve: Cut the cake into 12 pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy the perfect combination of moist chocolate cake, sweet caramel, creamy topping, and crunchy toffee candy in every bite!
Notes
- Use store-bought caramel sauce or homemade for best results.
- Cool Whip can be substituted with freshly whipped heavy cream if preferred.
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before adding the whipped topping to prevent melting.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Toffee candy bars like Heath or Skor provide the perfect texture and flavor combination.
