This easy better than sex cake is one of my favorite desserts. We start with a simple chocolate cake and then use a wooden spoon to poke holes in it. Sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce are poured over the cake and then it’s topped with Cool Whip and crushed Heath bars before being served. It’s irresistible!

This Better Than Anything Cake is, well, better than anything!

This delectable cake is known by many names including Better Than Best Cake, Almost Better Than Sex Cake, Better Than Anything Cake or Better Than You Know What Cake. If you’ve heard of Sex in a Pan, this is it…or perhaps you know it as Robert Redford Cake or Better Than Robert Redford Cake.

No matter what it is called, the result is no ordinary chocolate cake. This is a moist, homemade better than sex cake that everyone will love. The rich, buttery caramel sauce adds to the moist texture of this confection. Then there’s the topping with whipping cream, more coffee AND heath bar pieces. Heavenly.

Ingredients For Better Than Anything Cake

You will need:

• Devil’s food chocolate boxed cake mix plus ingredients listed on the cake box
• 1 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• jar of caramel sauce
• 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip
• 4 Heath candy bars

BTS Cake Substitutions and Additions

CAKE MIX: Try making this with a different type of chocolate cake mix such as German chocolate cake instead of devil’s food cake mix. Or, when you mix the cake, only use two eggs and add a half-cup of whiskey.

SAUCE: Substitute hot fudge topping for the caramel sauce.

TOPPINGS: There are lots of sweet nothings that can be added to top of the cake: chocolate chips, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Skor bars, Butterfingers, Snickers, Oreos, heath toffee bits.

WHIPPED CREAM: You can either use a whipped topping such as Cool Whip or make your own homemade fresh whipped cream using our recipe found here.

How to make Better than Sex Cake

STEP ONE: Bake cake according to the package directions for a 9×13 cake. When the cake is done baking, use the end handle of a wooden spoon and poke holes all throughout the cake (just like we do in this recipe for Turtle poke cake, too!) (just like we do in this recipe for Turtle poke cake, too!).

PRO TIP: It’s best to make the holes in the cake while it is still slightly warm because as it cools, the crust on top of the cake will crumble more easily.

STEP TWO: Pour the sweetened condensed milk all over the top of the cake and spread it out.

PRO TIP: When you’re pouring the cream into the holes, tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles and make sure the cream fills the holes completely.

STEP THREE: Then pour caramel sauce over the top of the cake and spread it out to cover the entire cake.

STEP FOUR: Refrigerate the cake for at least two hours.

STEP FIVE: Spread the Cool Whip on top of the cooled cake and sprinkle with chopped Heath bars.
