Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (12 ounces / 340 grams) caramel sauce
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed toffee bits
- 1 container (8 ounces / 227 grams) whipped topping
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a chocolate cake according to package or homemade recipe, baking in a 9×13 inch pan at the recommended temperature for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow cake to cool for 10-15 minutes while remaining slightly warm.
- Create evenly spaced holes across the entire cake surface using the rounded end of a wooden spoon.
- Gently drizzle sweetened condensed milk into the cake’s holes, ensuring complete coverage and absorption.
- Pour caramel sauce uniformly over the cake, allowing it to penetrate the created channels.
- Generously distribute half of the toffee bits across the moistened cake surface.
- Refrigerate the cake for a minimum of 60 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cake to set.
- Remove cake from refrigerator and carefully spread whipped topping in an even layer.
- Garnish the top with remaining toffee bits and optional mini chocolate chips for added texture and visual appeal.
- Slice into servings and indulge in the rich, decadent dessert.
Notes
- Ensure cake is slightly warm when poking holes to allow maximum absorption of condensed milk and caramel, creating a super moist texture.
- Use wooden spoon handle gently to avoid tearing cake’s surface, creating clean, evenly distributed holes for better sauce penetration.
- Consider using gluten-free cake mix or alternative flour for celiac-friendly version, maintaining the rich, indulgent flavor profile.
- Refrigerate cake for up to 3 days, covering loosely with plastic wrap to preserve freshness and prevent toffee bits from becoming soggy.
