Ingredients
Scale
Cake Batter
- 15.25 oz. Devil’s Food cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping and Filling
- 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup caramel topping, plus extra for drizzling
- 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
- 3 Heath bars, chopped (4.2 ounces)
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling
- Caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a large bowl, blend together the Devil’s Food cake mix, eggs, water, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined.
- Set Up Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour in the cake batter and smooth it into an even layer with a spatula.
- Cook the Cake: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 2 hours. Do not open the lid during cooking to ensure even baking.
- Inject Sweetened Condensed Milk and Caramel: When the cake is done, use the end of a spoon or a skewer to poke holes across the surface of the cake. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the holes, followed by ½ cup of caramel topping. Remove the slow cooker insert and let it cool on the counter.
- Chill the Cake: Once the slow cooker insert is cool to the touch, transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to let the flavors meld and the cake firm up.
- Add Whipped Topping and Heath Bars: After chilling, spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the chopped Heath bars evenly over the whipped topping.
- Finish with Drizzles: Drizzle caramel sauce and chocolate sauce over the top of the decorated cake for extra sweetness and visual appeal.
- Serve: Serve the cake by scooping generous portions with a large spoon. Enjoy the rich, gooey, and crunchy textures all in one dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a fresher taste.
- Additional toppings such as chocolate chips, almonds, toffee bits, or Heath Bits work great to enhance texture and flavor.
- Other chocolate cake mixes can be used if Devil’s Food is unavailable, but expect slight variations in flavor.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- This cake freezes well in an airtight container for up to three months; thaw before serving.
