Description

Indulgent chocolate cake soaked in sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce, topped with whipped cream and toffee bits for a creamy, crunchy, crowd-pleasing dessert.


Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup toffee bits or crushed chocolate-covered toffee bars

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake chocolate cake according to package instructions in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. While cake is warm, poke holes evenly across surface with handle of wooden spoon.
  3. Pour sweetened condensed milk over cake, letting it seep into holes.
  4. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over cake.
  5. Let cake cool completely, then spread whipped topping evenly over surface.
  6. Sprinkle toffee bits generously on top.
  7. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before slicing to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use devil’s food or fudge cake mix for extra richness.
  • Replace caramel sauce with warmed peanut butter for a twist.
  • Swap toffee bits for chopped peanut butter cups or crushed Oreos.
  • Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce over whipped topping for more decadence.
  • Store covered in fridge up to 4 days; tastes better the next day.
  • Can freeze soaked cake without topping; add topping after thawing.
  • Use homemade whipped cream for fresher taste, best eaten within 2 days.
  • Use unsweetened whipped cream and less caramel for a less sweet cake.
