Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 chocolate cake mix
Supporting Sweet Components:
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup whipped topping
Garnish and Crunch:
- ½ cup toffee bits
- ¼ cup chocolate sauce or hot fudge
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions, using a 9×13-inch baking pan at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove the hot cake from the oven and immediately create 20-25 deep holes using the handle of a wooden spoon across the entire surface.
- Pour 1 full can (14 ounces/397 grams) of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Drizzle ½ cup of caramel sauce directly into the holes, covering the entire cake’s surface.
- Refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours until completely chilled and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Spread 2 cups of whipped topping in a smooth, even layer across the top of the cold cake.
- Generously scatter 1 cup of toffee bits over the whipped topping, covering the entire surface.
- Zigzag ¼ cup of chocolate sauce and 2 tablespoons of additional caramel sauce on top for extra decoration.
- Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before slicing into 12 equal pieces and serving chilled.
Notes
- Check cake mix package for specific baking temperature and time to ensure perfect texture.
- Use a wooden spoon handle or chopstick to make uniform holes for even milk and caramel absorption.
- Chill cake thoroughly so layers set and flavors meld together before adding toppings.
- For gluten-free version, select a gluten-free cake mix and verify all other ingredients are gluten-free.
