This no-fuss, crowd-pleasing cake delivers rich flavors and a delightfully creamy, crunchy texture combination perfect for any celebration or treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box devil’s food cake mix (plus ingredients called for on box)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup caramel syrup

Topping

  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • 2–3 Heath candy bars, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch cake pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick during baking.
  2. Mix and Bake Cake: Prepare the devil’s food cake mix according to the package directions, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool and Poke Holes: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Then, using a fork or the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the surface of the cake, ensuring you don’t pierce all the way through to the bottom to avoid leakage.
  4. Pour Milk and Caramel: Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk and caramel syrup over the top of the cake, allowing the liquids to seep into the holes and soak the cake, making it extra moist and flavorful.
  5. Chill the Cake: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to fully absorb the liquid mixture.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the surface of the cake and sprinkle the crushed Heath candy bars evenly on top for a delightful crunch. Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent treat!

Notes

  • Be careful not to poke holes through the bottom of the cake to keep the milk and caramel from leaking out.
  • Chilling the cake for longer than 2 hours can enhance the flavors even more.
  • Substitute Heath bars with similar toffee or chocolate candy bars if desired.
  • This cake is best served cold and enjoyed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • For extra caramel flavor, drizzle additional caramel syrup over the Cool Whip topping before adding candy bars.
