Storing and Serving tips

To ensure your Better Than Sex Cake stays fresh, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator, especially if you have leftovers. The cool temperature helps maintain the whipped topping's texture and keeps the cake moist. Cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.

When ready to serve, consider adding extra chocolate shavings or even a drizzle of caramel on top to make it even more tempting. For a fun variation, try adding nuts or berries between the layers before resting it in the fridge. This will give your cake a unique twist while preserving its classic charm.

Ingredients

Gather your ingredients before starting:

Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 container whipped topping
  • Chocolate shavings for garnish

Make sure everything is ready before you start baking.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your masterpiece:

Prepare the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth and pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Add Toppings

Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the top using a fork. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, followed by the caramel sauce. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes.

Finish Up

Spread the whipped topping over the cake and garnish with chocolate shavings. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving for the best taste.

Enjoying your delicious creation!

Baking Tips for Success

For a consistent baking result, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Instead of just dumping them into your mixing bowl, use a proper measuring cup for liquids and a dry measuring cup for solids. This simple step can significantly affect the cake's texture and moisture level.

Always allow your cake to cool completely before adding the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. If the cake is still warm, these toppings may seep differently, leading to a less appealing texture. Patience is key here, and the wait is absolutely worth it.

Transforming Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover cake, consider transforming it into a delightful trifle. Layer pieces of the cake with fresh whipped cream and fruit in a glass dish for an impressive dessert that looks beautiful. This not only extends the life of your cake but creates a fun new way to enjoy it.

Alternatively, you can crumble the leftover cake and use it as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. The chocolate and caramel flavors will elevate your dessert game, creating a quick indulgent treat that feels special even after the main cake has been served.
