This cake is my husbands favorite, he asks for it on his Birthday and Father’s day every year. I make it for him unasked if I am starting a new home remodeling project and have gotten in wayyy over my head…
I have heard it called all kinds of things, Better than Sex cake is the most common. Although, when I was younger I heard it called Better than Robert Redford cake a lot. Times have changed.
In front of the kids my husband refers to it as Better than Procreation Cake, this year he called it Better than Megan Fox Cake, I guess she is the new hottie. Whatever. I’d like to see what she looks likes after having 7 kids…
Anyway, this is what you need to make this MASTERPIECE:
Next pour an entire 14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk over the top of the hot cake. I am not kidding.
Next, and I am not joking again, pour an entire jar of caramel syrup over the top. I like Mrs.Renfro’s, but will use whatever I have on hand. Listen, when I am talking about the 4,000 calories I am about to eat, I don’t JOKE around! 🙂
Now, amazingly, it will all soak in. Put it in the fridge to cool down. It is better if it sits a long time, like overnight before eating.
When cool, frost with cool whip and (if you are not lazy) chop up Heath or Skor bars to put on top. If you don’t have time dump a bag of Heath toffee bits on.
Have you had this cake before? What do you call it?
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
We use butterfingers and call it Butterfinger cake (-:
Somehow in college, my roommates & came up with the word oatmeal as a code word for kissing/making out/etc. with a guy. Anyway, as good as we thought this cake was, we couldn’t believe that it was better than kissing/sex/whatever :), so we started calling it “a close second to oatmeal cake”.
OMG, we totally have that cake every year on my husbands birthday, its the best, my mother in law has made it for years, but she doesnt put the condensed milk on it, but everything else is the same.
you are hilarious…..poke thousands of holes in it and pretend it’s Meagan Fox. awesome.
cake sounds pretty darn good!
I make a coconut cake using the same method. Bake a white cake mix. Pour a can of sweetened condensed milk and a can of cream of coconut on top. When cool, top with whipped topping and as much coconut as you like.
If you use a plastic spoon to punch the holes in the cake, it’s a lot less messy. Since the plastic won’t heat up like the metal tines will, the cake doesn’t stick to the fork. You can also use a plastic knife to slice warm cake or brownies so they don’t stick to the knife.
This cake is soo good! I had it for the first time at our church’s potluck! Lol!
i use Oreos on top. We call it holy cow cake. 🙂
BEST CAKE EVER!!!
I am so glad that you posted this. Several people made this cake when I was on my mission. I have never actually had the full recipe. I just knew it had Heath bar in it. I can’t wait to have my wife make this!
Now I know why you have eight children . . . LOL!
My mother-in-law has made this for my husband for probably 25 years.. they call it heath bar cake.
My Mother-in-law makes this cake all the time and it is a favorite in our house as well! She calls it the original name, but we call it “Better Than Anything Cake.” 🙂
YOU ARE HILARIOUS I love reading your blog and posts and you always crack me up 🙂 I subscribe to all your social media outlets. This sounds delicious and I definitely want to try it.

Sounds amazing! Cannot believe i have not had this cake before. I listed all the ingredients on my list for my next shopping trip.
Ok had hubby pick up the stuff at the store- it is in fridge now cooling… can’t wait to try it later! :o)
One of my friends used to make this for me and bring it to work.Eating stuff like this is probably why I have diabetes now but you are right about this being one of the best cakes ever.She always called it by the original name but I like the procreation name better.
My Better Than Sex Cake or Robert Redford Cake is entirely different.
Chocolate pudding, next cream cheese layer, next whip topping all on a pecan crust. Great for the summertime and this is my husbands favorite cake for his birthday.
