Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base
- 1 package devil’s food chocolate or German chocolate cake mix
Soaking and Topping
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar caramel topping
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip
Garnish
- 4-5 Snickers bars (or Skor, Heath bar, or mini Reese’s), chopped
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions and bake it in a 9×13 inch pan until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the cake to cool for about 5 minutes so it’s warm but not hot.
- Poke Holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly all over the surface of the cake to allow the toppings to seep in.
- Cool More: Let the cake cool for about 30 minutes until it’s warm but not hot to the touch, which helps the condensed milk soak in without running off.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Slowly pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the cake, letting it soak into the holes created.
- Drizzle Caramel: Evenly drizzle the caramel topping over the cake surface.
- Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the process; be sure to cover it well to avoid drying out.
- Spread Cool Whip: Once cool, spread the Cool Whip evenly over the top layer of the cake for a light, creamy finish.
- Decorate: Sprinkle chopped Snickers bars or your choice of candy bars over the Cool Whip and drizzle additional caramel topping for extra indulgence.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into 12 servings and enjoy this luscious, crowd-pleasing dessert.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cake is warm but not hot when pouring the sweetened condensed milk to allow maximum absorption without making the cake soggy.
- Use your favorite chocolate candy bars for garnish to customize the flavor profile.
- Cover the cake when refrigerating to keep it moist and prevent odors from absorbing.
- This cake is best served chilled but can be brought to room temperature before serving if preferred.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
