Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (16.5-ounce) box devil’s food cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces caramel ice cream topping
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream)
- ¾ cup milk chocolate Heath toffee bits
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the box of devil’s food cake mix.
- Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Poke the Cake:
- While the cake is still warm, use a butter knife or fork to poke holes evenly across the surface.
- Add Toppings:
- Drizzle the caramel topping over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top, spreading evenly. Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature.
- Top with Cool Whip:
- Once the cake has cooled, spread an even layer of Cool Whip over the surface using a spatula.
- Sprinkle with Toffee Bits:
- Sprinkle the milk chocolate Heath toffee bits evenly over the Cool Whip layer.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crunch, toast the toffee bits lightly before adding them to the cake.
- You can make this cake a day ahead. Add the Cool Whip and toffee bits just before serving for the freshest presentation.
- For a nut-free version, substitute the toffee bits with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies or mini chocolate chips.
