Better-than-Anything Cake

I love this cake!  LOVE it!  It's quite rich, though, so keep that in mind.  I love it because it is so full of flavor and is so moist, so I have made it many a time.  I feel like this is the chocolate version of Tres Leches Cake, which is also delicious!

Better-than-Anything Cake
1 devil's food (or chocolate) cake mix
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 medium bag crushed toffee candy pieces (or mini kisses, Reese's, your choice of candy - toffee candy is best!)
Caramel or butterscotch syrup
Chocolate syrup
1 large tub of whipped cream topping (or make homemade whipped cream topping)

Prepare and bake the devil's food cake mix as directed on the package.

When cake is baked, take the small end of a plastic/wood mixing spoon and poke holes all over the cake every inch or two.  Pour one 14-oz can of sweetened condensed milk over the cake.  I also like to pour some chocolate syrup and caramel or butterscotch syrup on at this point.  Sprinkle 1/2 - 3/4 of the toffee pieces on the cake.

Allow to cool for a few hours.  (After it cools you can also put it in the fridge to cool up more.)

Add whipped topping on top like frosting.  Decorate top with syrups and remaining toffee pieces.  Best if decorated shortly before served.

Also best when refrigerated.  

Enjoy!

  1. I actually really like cupcakes. Its what we had at our wedding instead of a normal cake... I guess that could fall under cake, but cupcakes is a whole different realm of cake....
