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.

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.
