Description

This Crockpot Better Than Sex Cake is a luscious, easy-to-make dessert featuring a moist triple chocolate fudge cake base cooked in a slow cooker, infused with a rich caramel and sweetened condensed milk mixture, and topped with whipped topping and crunchy toffee bits. Perfect for a decadent treat with minimal effort, its creamy caramel drizzle seeps into the cake’s holes for maximum flavor and moistness.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 15.25 ounces Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix (Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1¼ cups water
  • ½ cup canola oil

Caramel Mixture

  • 14 ounces caramel sundae sauce (Hershey’s)
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Topping

  • 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
  • ½ cup Heath Bar English toffee bits
  • Additional drizzle of caramel sauce (from a squeeze bottle, optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray the bottom and sides of the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with baker’s spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil. Mix for 2 minutes until smooth and well blended.
  3. Prepare Caramel Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the caramel sundae sauce and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Set aside.
  4. Cook Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared slow cooker insert. Cover with the lid, set the slow cooker to HIGH, and cook for 2 to 3 hours. Begin checking for doneness at 2 hours by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when done.
  5. Poke Holes: While the cake is still hot, gently poke holes all over the surface using the handle of a wooden spoon to create spaces for the caramel mixture.
  6. Add Caramel Mixture: Slowly pour the reserved caramel and sweetened condensed milk mixture over the cake, pausing occasionally to allow the liquid to seep into the holes evenly.
  7. Cool and Chill: Let the cake cool on the counter, then transfer the slow cooker insert to the refrigerator. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours to set the flavors and topping.
  8. Add Toppings and Serve: Once chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cake. Sprinkle Heath Bar toffee bits on top, and optionally drizzle additional caramel sauce from a squeeze bottle as a garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a 6-quart slow cooker for optimal cooking size and coverage.
  • Make sure eggs are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
  • Testing for doneness around 2 hours prevents overcooking or undercooking the cake.
  • Poking holes while the cake is hot allows caramel to deeply penetrate the cake for moistness.
  • Chilling the cake helps the topping set firmly and enhances flavor melding.
  • Optional caramel drizzle adds extra sweetness and visual appeal.
  • This cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
