Notes
I’ve used a rich chocolate cake mix for this Better Than Sex Cake but feel free to add your own personal spin by using different cake mix flavors!
Make sure that the cake has completely cooled before you add the whipped topping otherwise, you’ll end up with a runny mess.
Keep this cake PG-rated by calling it Better Than Anything Cake if you’re serving to a younger crowd!
Using a cake mix saves you from making a chocolate cake from scratch. However, this classic chocolate cake is a one-bowl recipe and super easy if you do like a homemade chocolate cake.
This cake tends to be very "wet" - it's rich and decadent. If you want to dial it back a little bit, I'd suggest cutting the condensed milk amount in half or substitute vanilla pudding. Pour the caramel sauce over and then add the pudding like we did in our Easter poke cake.
