Recently I was assigned to bring treats to a Business Writing class that I am taking at Brigham Young University. I was torn about what to make. You see, my husband and I hardly ever have sweets in our house, so when I have the chance to make something, I like to go 'all out'. At first I thought about making several different types of cake: pumpkin, banana, zucchini, and wheat; and bringing hot chocolate in a large thermos. However, after much deliberation, I finally settled on making a "Better than Whatever" cake (also known as a Better than Sex or Better than Disneyland Cake).
Luckily, the class loved it! I was just thrilled. Due to the response that I received, I have decided to share the recipe with you, along with my secret procedures.
Better Than Sex Cake
1 box of regular chocolate cake mix (and all that that entails: oil, water, eggs)
6 oz caramel
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
8 oz whipped cream
4 Skor bars, crushed
Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box. Once it is done cooking, let it cool for about 20 minutes. Then take a wooden spoon and punch holes all over the cake (a great way to de-stress!). Next you will pour the caramel and sweetened condensed milk all over the cake, spread it with a spatula. It will fill up the holes that you just punched.
Next comes my big secret! Let it sit. This is the true trick, the longer you let the cake chill in the refrigerator, the better it is. I generally like to let the cake chill for at least 8 hours (it's best overnight). This allows the cake to absorb the caramel and milk; which also allows the cake to keep its form better when you cut it.
As soon as you're ready to serve it, spread the entire tub of whipped cream over the top of the cake and top it with the crushed Skor bars. Cut, serve, and enjoy! Your guests will love it!
