Oh. My. If you have never tasted this cake before, not only are you seriously missing out on a truly sweet experience, but it is probably one of my favorite cakes in the world. Yes, that is a powerful statement. And I have a little secret...I use a boxed cake mix. Of course, you can make your cake from scratch if you like. But for some reason, it's just the perfect recipe using a box. And why not? Taking a shortcut now and then isn't gonna kill you. I promise. This is one of the most simple cakes I make, but it is truly the sweetest and most perfect balance of taste and texture. After the cake cools, you get to poke holes in it. It's my favorite part. It feels so wrong but so right at the same time. It is than smothered in both hot fudge and caramel sauce. It seeps into the holes so with every bite you get fudge, caramel and cake. Yum. Top it with Cool Whip, chocolate chips and toffee bits, and you've got yourself one amazing cake. Try it. You will fall in love. You'll thank me later.

Hi Steph,
I've had my fair share of this cake and I agree, it's one of the best there is! Beautiful pics! You and I think so much alike, I was thinking about doing a giveaway too. Have a great day!
YUM.. I need to leave this post immediately before I get a major craving to make something chocolate!!
I make this cake, but just a little different. I use a devil's cake mix, poke holes, then pour sweetened condensed milk and carmel, then toffee, then whip cream, then toffee. I'm going to have TO try your's. It looks so good!
If you are giving the cake away...PICK ME! wow I could use it after a day like today :)! Every time I get on this blog I kick myself for not living next door to you!!
where i come from, this is called the "better than sex cake," i kid you not. it is awfully good... :)
I must be the only one in the world who has not had this cake... which is unbelievable since it looks like something I would inhale the second it was ready to serve! Maybe I'll make it for myself on my birthday next week...
I think that's what they call chocolate heaven! Major YUM!
Speaking of giveaways, I have two currently running. One is on my Cake Space site for a free cake pan shaped like a giant cupcake... check out my profile and you'll find it!

Steph, that shiny icing is making me drool here!
Steph, what a stunning dessert. I think I just gained 5 LB just looking at it.

Good Lord that is the most fabulous thing I've ever seen...
I love this cake too! SO easy and delish!
Ooh-that cake looks yummy but I also want the buttermilk chicken.
My husband's grandma makes a cake like this for every special occasion we have and YES, every time it's eaten right up! Great dessert!
Nothing is wrong with cake mix every once in a while. I agree. This cake looks amazing! I love cakes that I can stick my finger in to poke holes.. Love it! Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe
You know what's better on this cake then the plain caramel sauce? The Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel. I think you can basically find it at most grocery stores in Utah - soooo gooood!!
You have a great blog!!
I love to bake and have found many new things to try here!
Thanks & keep it up! Too awesome!
That recipe is so simple and yet it looks so so good! Chocolate cake with caramel and fudge sauce...mmm...
Now that is a chocolate masterpiece!
I made this recipe today for my Mother in Law's birthday. It turned out perfect. Not too sweet, just perfect. Thanks for sharing, I will be making it again.
I think someone posted a comment on here that says what I wanted to say "down right delish"!
You made something so simple look so amazingly delish.
I am so making this soon, very soon....ha ha ha. oh yes, there will be cake in my house soon.

Thanks for this great recipe.

Wow, that cake looks fantastic. I think an hour on the treadmill is probably necessary after just looking at it.
I've had this with sweetened condensed milk and carmel and it is SOOOO YUMMY! I call it "Better Than Sex Cake." And it's kinda true. ;)
