Instructions

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and oil. Mix until well combined, then pour into a greased baking pan.

Prepare the Toppings

Once the cake is baked and cooled, poke holes all over the top using a fork. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the cake, followed by the caramel sauce.

Finish the Cake

Spread the whipped topping over the cake and sprinkle milk chocolate chips on top for added flavor.

Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Storage Tips

To keep your Better Than Sex Cake fresh and delicious, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its moist texture and rich flavors. The cake can typically last up to five days, though with how tasty it is, it might not last that long!

If you need to prepare it in advance, consider assembling it without the whipped topping and chocolate chips. You can add those shortly before serving to ensure they remain fresh and visually appealing. This way, you can enjoy this dessert at its finest, even if it's made ahead of time.

Customization Ideas

Better Than Sex Cake is highly customizable, so don’t hesitate to tweak the ingredients to suit your tastes. For a nutty flavor, you could add chopped nuts or even a layer of crushed Oreos between the toppings. If you prefer white chocolate, swap out the milk chocolate chips for white chocolate chips to change up the flavor profile while keeping that delightful sweetness.

Another fun twist is to use different cake flavors. A vanilla or red velvet cake base could provide a new and exciting taste experience while still pairing beautifully with the caramel and chocolate layers. Experiment with your own favorite flavors to make this cake uniquely yours!
