Better than Anything Caramel Cake

Better than Anything Cake (aka Better than Sex Cake) made with homemade caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream. This recipe is one of our favorite cakes, ever! I love any excuse to make a delicious and beautiful cake! In the past I’ve always stuck with 2 or 3-layer cakes that I can decorate pretty with piping or fruit. Naked cakes (like this berry cake) are fun, easy and beautiful. Lately life has been BUSY! A new baby that attends Physical therapy, two toddlers in preschool, and a full-time business has kept me on my toes. I’ve had to make dessert for a few different occasions lately and I’ve come to love the ease of a cake made in a 9×13” pan.

Ingredients

1 chocolate cake , baked in a 9x13'' pan

1 recipe caramel sauce , or one 16oz jar caramel topping

14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

3-4 heath candy bars , chopped*

Instructions

 

1. Bake cake according to directions in a 9x13 pan.


2. Allow cake cool for about 5 minutes, then poke holes in it with a fork or the handle end of a wooden spoon.


3. Immediately pour caramel sauce all over the cake. Then pour the sweetened condensed milk (I only usually use about 1/2 of the can of sweetened condensed milk because I think it's sweet enough with just half. But, the traditional recipe uses the entire can. It's up to you!)


4. Allow the cake to cool completely.


5. While the cake cools, add the whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks.
