Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box Chocolate cake mix (any brand)
  • 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup Oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 1 cup Water (as per cake mix)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Soaking and Topping Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Caramel sauce (warmed)
  • ½ cup Chocolate sauce (optional)
  • 1 cup Toffee bits (like Heath or Skor)
  • 8 oz Whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
  • ¼ cup Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp Caramel drizzle (for final touch)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven and prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the instructions on the box, incorporating eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract if using.
  2. Baking: Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking pan and bake as directed. Once baked, let the cake cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. Poking Holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly all over the warm cake to allow the soak to penetrate deeply.
  4. Soaking: Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire cake surface, ensuring it seeps into each hole.
  5. Caramel Layer: Drizzle the warmed caramel sauce over the cake, again making sure it trickles into the holes for maximum flavor absorption.
  6. Cooling: Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature before adding the toppings.
  7. Topping: Evenly spread the whipped topping over the cooled cake, creating a smooth, creamy layer.
  8. Garnishing: Sprinkle the toffee bits and chocolate shavings on top of the whipped topping for texture and extra flavor.
  9. Finishing: Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the garnished cake as a final decadent touch.
  10. Chilling: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours before serving to let all flavors meld together perfectly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better cake texture.
  • Warming the caramel sauce helps it absorb better into the cake.
  • For an extra chocolaty version, add the optional chocolate sauce along with caramel drizzle.
  • Allowing the cake to chill enhances the flavors and firmness for easier slicing.
  • This cake keeps well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
