This Caramel Toffee Cake is a decadent and easy-to-make dessert featuring a moist German chocolate cake base soaked in a rich caramel and sweetened condensed milk mixture, topped with fluffy whipped cream and crunchy Heath toffee bits. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with layers of caramel and chocolate goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box German Chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box: eggs, water, oil)

Caramel Topping

  • 1 jar caramel sundae topping
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Topping

  • 1 (8 oz) tub frozen whipped topping, softened (such as Cool Whip)
  • 4 to 6 Heath candy bars, crumbled or Heath baking bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake: Follow the German Chocolate cake mix package instructions to prepare the batter, including mixing with eggs, water, and oil as directed. Pour the batter evenly into a 9×13-inch baking pan and bake according to package directions. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely.
  2. Make holes in the cake: Using a fork, poke holes across the entire surface of the cooled cake. These holes will allow the caramel mixture to soak in deeply.
  3. Mix caramel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the jar of caramel sundae topping with the sweetened condensed milk, mixing thoroughly until well blended.
  4. Pour caramel mixture over cake: Evenly pour the caramel-condensed milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into all the holes for maximum flavor infusion.
  5. Spread whipped topping: Using a spatula, spread the softened whipped topping evenly over the caramel layer, creating a smooth creamy finish.
  6. Add toffee crunch: Sprinkle the crumbled Heath candy bars or baking bits generously over the whipped topping to add a delightful crunch and toffee flavor.
  7. Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before poking holes to prevent the cake from crumbling.
  • For easier crumbling, place Heath candy bars in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • This cake is best served chilled but can be left at room temperature briefly before serving.
  • You can substitute caramel sundae topping with dulce de leche for a richer flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
