We love making poke cakes. There are so many different ways to make them and with easy ingredients, pokes cake are our go-to dessert.
Variation Ideas:
- Cake mix– You can substitute other types of cake mix for the Devil’s food cake mix. Try using chocolate or German chocolate cake mix. I think either of these would be yummy in this recipe.
- Candy– This is a great way to use leftover candy and you can use other types besides Heath. Try using Butterfinger, Reese’s Cups, snickers, Hershey bars and more. Any of these would be great on the cake.
- Ice cream– If you feeling decadent, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the cake when serving.
- Use different sauce – Instead of caramel sauce, drizzle chocolate syrup.
- Chocolate Chips – You can mix in chocolate chips for some extra crunch in the cake mix.
How to Store Heath Cake:
- Refrigerator – If you are placing the leftovers in the refrigerator, make sure to cover with plastic wrap until you are ready to serve again.
- Freezer – Placing the leftover cake in the freezer is easy to do. Tightly cover the cake with plastic wrap and then foil to ensure that it is complete covered. It will stay good up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Thawing Cake – Place cake in the refrigerator overnight to allow cake to thaw.

Hey Carrie, you mentioned that the cake for Better Than Sex could be cooked in the slow cooker but didn’t give instructions on how to do it. Will you please send me the instructions on how to cook in the crockpot? I’ve heard of this recipe and wondered what it would taste like so I’d like to try it. It’s just sooo hot here I don’t want to heat up the house with the oven. TIA! A loyal follower, Debbie Faulk
