Two Versions of "Better than Sex" Cake

Sometimes there is a dessert so good and people will call it better than sex. These desserts are full of fat, and usually full of mind-blowing chemicals from chocolate that release those happy endorphins in our brains.

I have to different versions of “Better than Sex” cake for you today. The first is a full fat version the other is a reduced fat, or a diet version. Both are scrumptious and really suggest you try both versions. For the lower fat version, unless you stated it was low fat, your guests would not know that it was.

Feel free to change the toffee out for other candy such as M&M’s, chocolate curls, Chocolate Jimmies, Whoppers or even chopped up Milk Duds!

The first recipe is the low fat version of this cake.

1 (12 ounce) can Diet Coke

1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix

1 egg white

6 ounces fat free caramel topping

7 ounces fat-free condensed milk

1 English toffee-flavored candy bar (I like Heath Bars), chopped

8 ounces fat-free whipped topping

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375.

 

Mix cake mix, egg white, and diet soda.

Bake for 35 minutes in a greased 9x13 pan.

In a saucepan on low, heat caramel and condensed milk stirring until smooth.

After baking, remove cake from oven and pour caramel over top.

Sprinkle half the heath bar on top.

Cool completely.

Cover with whipped topping and remaining heath bar bits.

Store in the refrigerator

 

 

For the full fat version, you can see the recipe is not that much different from the other recipe. With simple substitutions, you can modify most of your normal recipes into low versions.
