Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar hot fudge sauce
- 1 tub whipped topping
- 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. This typically involves mixing the cake mix with water, oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, take the can of sweetened condensed milk and the jar of hot fudge sauce. Once the cake has cooled slightly, use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake. This will allow the sweetened condensed milk and hot fudge to soak into the cake.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Then, drizzle the hot fudge sauce over the cake, spreading it out with a spatula if necessary.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, spread the tub of whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake, creating a smooth layer.
- Finally, sprinkle the crushed chocolate cookies over the whipped topping for added texture and flavor. You can use a rolling pin to crush the cookies or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with your hands.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
- Once chilled, cut the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Not Better Than Sex Cake with family and friends!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and other ingredients are at room temperature for a more even cake texture.
- Don't Overbake: Check the cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time to prevent dryness. A toothpick with a few moist crumbs is perfect.
- Hole-Poking Technique: Use a fork with long tines to create plenty of holes for the condensed milk and fudge sauce to penetrate deeply.
- Chill Time Matters: Refrigerating the cake for at least 2 hours allows the flavors to meld and the texture to become more decadent.
- Crush Cookies Consistently: For a uniform topping, use a rolling pin or food processor to create even cookie crumbs.
- Make Ahead: This cake actually tastes better the next day, so it's perfect for preparing in advance!
