Better than Anything Cake (aka Better than Sex Cake) made with homemade caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream. This recipe is one of our favorite cakes, ever! I love any excuse to make a delicious and beautiful cake! In the past I’ve always stuck with 2 or 3-layer cakes that I can decorate pretty with piping or fruit. Naked cakes (like this berry cake) are fun, easy and beautiful. Lately life has been BUSY! A new baby that attends Physical therapy, two toddlers in preschool, and a full-time business has kept me on my toes. I’ve had to make dessert for a few different occasions lately and I’ve come to love the ease of a cake made in a 9×13” pan.

Ingredients
1 chocolate cake , baked in a 9x13'' pan
1 recipe caramel sauce , or one 16oz jar caramel topping
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3-4 heath candy bars , chopped*
Instructions
- Bake cake according to directions in a 9x13 pan.
- Allow cake cool for about 5 minutes, then poke holes in it with a fork or the handle end of a wooden spoon.
- Immediately pour caramel sauce all over the cake. Then pour the sweetened condensed milk (I only usually use about 1/2 of the can of sweetened condensed milk because I think it's sweet enough with just half. But, the traditional recipe uses the entire can. It's up to you!)
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, add the whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks.
