Indulge in the decadent delight of Better than Sex Chocolate Cake, an irresistible dessert that lives up to its tantalizing name. This rich and luscious cake features layers of moist chocolate cake, creamy chocolate ganache, and fluffy chocolate mousse, all enveloped in a silky chocolate glaze. Each bite offers a symphony of chocolate flavors and textures that will leave you craving for more.

The journey to chocolatey bliss begins with the classic chocolate cake, a staple in the dessert world. This cake forms the foundation of the dessert, providing a sturdy yet tender base for the layers of chocolatey goodness to come. A rich and creamy chocolate ganache is then poured over the cooled cake, creating a smooth and decadent layer that seeps into every nook and cranny. The ganache not only adds flavor but also provides a barrier between the cake and the mousse, preventing the mousse from soaking into the cake and losing its light and airy texture.

Next comes the fluffy chocolate mousse, a cloud-like delight that adds height and lightness to the cake. Made with whipped cream, melted chocolate, and eggs, the mousse is light and airy yet rich and flavorful, providing a perfect balance to the dense cake and ganache. The mousse is then carefully spread over the ganache layer, creating a smooth and even surface for the final touch: a silky chocolate glaze.

The chocolate glaze is the crowning glory of this dessert, a shiny and decadent layer that adds a touch of sophistication and elegance. Made with melted chocolate, butter, and cream, the glaze is poured over the chilled mousse, creating a smooth and even coating that hardens as it cools. The result is a stunning cake that is not only delicious but also visually appealing.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
6 ounces caramel ice cream topping

Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)
