The Better Than Anything Cake is a rich and indulgent dessert that combines moist devil’s food chocolate cake with layers of sweetened condensed milk, luscious caramel, fluffy whipped topping, and crunchy toffee bits. It's a crowd-pleaser that's surprisingly easy to prepare, making it perfect for gatherings, celebrations, or a delightful treat for yourself.
1 box devil’s food chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 oz) jar caramel topping
1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
½ cup Heath toffee bits (or more for extra crunch)
Bake the Cake: Prepare the devil’s food cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and allow it to cool slightly.
Poke Holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, fork, or spatula, poke holes all over the cake. This allows the caramel and sweetened condensed milk to seep in, making the cake ultra moist and flavorful.
Add the Caramel Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the warm cake, letting it soak into the holes.
Chill: Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
Top with Whipped Topping and Toffee Bits: Spread the Cool Whip over the chilled cake and sprinkle generously with Heath toffee bits for the perfect crunch.
Chill Again and Serve: Refrigerate for another hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy cold!
