Ingredients
  

Cake Base
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix or homemade chocolate cake base
  • 1 tsp instant espresso powder optional, enhances chocolate flavor
Soaking Layer
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
Topping
  • 1 container whipped topping thawed, cold
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or toffee bits for garnish

Equipment

  • Hand Mixer
  • 9x13 Baking Pan

Method
 

  1. Prepare chocolate cake mix according to package instructions. Add espresso powder for enhanced flavor if using.
  2. Bake in a 9x13 pan and remove when done. While still warm, poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  3. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, followed by caramel sauce. Let it soak in.
  4. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to blend and cake to chill.
  5. Spread whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle chocolate chips or toffee bits on top just before serving.
  6. Slice and serve cold. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

Variations: Try peanut butter chips, crushed Oreos, or strawberry puree in place of caramel. Chill overnight for best texture. Garnish just before serving to maintain crunch.
