Here’s the ultra-decadent and wildly popular Better Than “Anything” Cake — a rich, moist chocolate poke cake soaked in caramel and topped with whipped cream, toffee bits, and more. It’s insanely delicious and dangerously easy to make!


🍰 Better Than “Anything” Cake

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 30–35 minutes
Chill Time: 2+ hours
Total Time: ~3 hours
Servings: 12–16


📝 Ingredients:

  • 1 box devil’s food cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 oz) jar caramel sauce or butterscotch topping
  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • ½ to 1 cup Heath toffee bits (or crushed Heath bars)
  • Optional: drizzle of chocolate syrup or extra caramel

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Bake the cake:

Prepare and bake the devil’s food cake in a 9×13-inch pan according to box instructions. Let it cool for about 5–10 minutes.


2. Poke & pour:

Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork, poke holes all over the warm cake.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top, followed by the caramel sauce. Let the cake absorb the mixture, then cool completely.


3. Top it off:

Once cooled, spread a thick layer of Cool Whip over the cake. Sprinkle with toffee bits and drizzle with extra caramel or chocolate syrup, if desired.


4. Chill:

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.


✅ Tips:

  • Make it even better with chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, or a layer of chocolate pudding under the whipped topping.
  • For homemade whipped topping, beat 1½ cups heavy cream + 2 tbsp powdered sugar.
  • Try it with yellow cake and butterscotch for a fun twist.

🧊 Storage:

  • Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze slices for up to 1 month (best without whipped topping — add fresh before serving).
