Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare it, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Filling & Topping
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1 cup chopped Snickers bars
- ¼ cup chocolate syrup (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, which generally involves mixing the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking pan and bake as directed. Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly but not completely.
- Poke Holes: Use the back of a wooden spoon to evenly poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake, creating openings for the filling to seep into.
- Add Filling: Pour the caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, ensuring that the mixture seeps into the holes. This step infuses the cake with rich flavor and moisture. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake to create a creamy, light layer on top.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars over the whipped topping. Optionally, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for added visual appeal and extra chocolate flavor.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is warm when poking holes and adding the filling so the caramel and condensed milk can fully seep into the cake.
- Use high-quality caramel sauce and chocolate syrup for the best flavor.
- Chill the cake well before serving to help it firm up and enhance the taste.
- For easier slicing, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry before each cut.
- You can substitute the Snickers bars with other candy bars like Milky Way or Butterfinger if desired.
