dessertTab’s Famous Chocolate Cake
So, it’s not really famous but it is a must have request from my kids and husband. Chocolate Devils Food Cake with caramel and toffee. I’ve also made this in mini dessert cups with mini spoons for my housewarming party and it was a hit with everyone.
Tabetha GarrisonIngredients
- 1 Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake Mix plus ingredients listed on the cake box
- 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 16 oz Caramel Sauce
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 4 Heath Bars chopped
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a 9x13 dish by spraying with nonstick spray.
- 2Make the cake according to the package directions for a 9x13 cake.
- 3When the cake is done baking use the round handle end of a wooden spoon (thin handle) to poke holes all throughout the cake.
- 4Pour the sweetened condensed milk all over the top of the cake and spread it out.
- 5Then pour caramel sauce over the top of the cake and spread out.
- 6Refrigerate the cake atleast two hours, covered with cling wrap.
- 7Spread the cool whip on top of the cooled cake and sprinkle with Heath bars. For extra goodness, I like to sprinkle Heath bars on top of the caramel sauce before I add the cool whip, then add the topping of Heath bars on the cool whip.

Quick Tips
- 1
Bloom the cocoa first
Whisk your cocoa powder with 1 cup of boiling water or hot coffee and let it sit 5 minutes before adding it to the batter. It deepens the chocolate flavor.
- 2
Line the pans with parchment
Grease the pans, then set a circle of parchment in the bottom of each 9-inch pan. The layers come out clean every time.
- 3
Cool completely before frosting
Let layers cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack for at least 1 hour. Warm cake tears and melts the frosting right off.
- 4
Check at the earliest time
Start testing at 28 minutes with a toothpick in the center — a few moist crumbs means done, wet batter means give it 3 more minutes.
