Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box Devils food cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Toppings and Soaking
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup caramel syrup
- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 2–3 Heath candy bars, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9×13-inch cake pan to prevent sticking.
- Make and Bake Cake: Prepare the devil’s food cake mix according to the package instructions, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed.
- Cool and Poke Holes: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool. Using a fork or the back of a wooden spoon, gently poke holes across the surface of the cake, making sure not to pierce all the way through to the bottom.
- Pour Soaking Mixture: Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk and caramel syrup over the top of the cake, allowing the mixture to seep down into the holes to add moisture and flavor throughout.
- Chill the Cake: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the cake to soak up the liquids fully.
- Add Toppings and Serve: When ready to serve, remove the cake from the refrigerator, spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the top, and then sprinkle the crushed Heath candy bars over the Cool Whip for a crunchy, chocolatey finish. Enjoy your delicious dessert!
Notes
- Be careful when poking holes to avoid piercing through the cake all the way to the bottom to retain structure.
- For extra flavor, you can drizzle additional caramel syrup over the top before serving.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator; best consumed within 3 days.
- Substitute crushed toffee or chocolate bars if Heath candy bars are unavailable.
- Allowing the cake to soak overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
