Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs

Supporting Ingredients:

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 jar caramel sauce
  • 1 jar butterscotch sauce

Toppings:

  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch pan with cooking spray.
  2. Combine 1 box white cake mix, 1 cup water, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs in a bowl. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Create multiple holes across the warm cake using a wooden spoon handle.
  7. Carefully pour 1 can of sweetened condensed milk over the cake, ensuring it penetrates the holes.
  8. Drizzle the entire jar of caramel sauce and butterscotch sauce across the cake surface.
  9. Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour to help sauces absorb into the cake.
  10. Cover the entire cake with 1 container of whipped topping using a smooth, even motion.
  11. Sprinkle ½ cup chopped pecans and ¼ cup toffee bits over the whipped topping.
  12. Chill the cake for an additional 2 hours to set completely.
  13. Slice into square portions and serve directly from the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Check cake doneness carefully to prevent overbaking, which dries out the texture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother cake batter that blends more easily.
  • For gluten-free version, select a gluten-free cake mix and verify all sauces are gluten-free.
  • Make ahead and store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days, which actually enhances the flavor as sauces continue to soak into the cake.
