Why This Recipe Works
Baking a delicious cake is pretty easy to do, but when you want to add lots of flavors and tastes throughout every bite, you’ll want to do more than just switch up the icing. And that’s where this addicting cake comes in to play.
It’s considered a poke cake because you’ll poke holes in it and drizzle with caramel and condensed milk to allow those flavors to embed directly into the cake itself. Then it’s topped with whipped topping and crushed Heath bars for a finished dessert that won’t last long.
Make this slow cooker version of better than sex cake for your next potluck, game day gathering, or to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Step-by-Step Directions

Recipe Variations
- I like using the extra creamy Cool Whip, but you can also substitute homemade whipped cream for whipped topping.

- Other chocolate cake mixes, such as regular or German chocolate, can be substituted for the Devil’s Food cake mix.

Another option is to put down some alfoil and spray it before putting in the cake mix, this will allow you to just grab the foil at the end and pull it all out of the slow cooker.
