Substitutions
- Cake Mix Flavors. Instead of Devil’s food cake mix, try chocolate or German chocolate cake mix. Both of these are great options that everyone will love.
- More Chocolate. Add a handful of chocolate chips to the cake batter for a dessert that is even more decadent.
- Candy. Try other candy. This is a great way to use leftover candy. Crush other candy bars on top such as Butterfinger, Reese’s Cups, Snickers, Hershey bars, and more.
How to Make Better than Sex Crockpot Cake
Step 1. Get out a large mixing bowl and combine the cake mix ingredients along with the vanilla extract and ½ of the sweetened condensed milk. Make sure everything is mixed thoroughly.
Step 2. Spray your crock pot with cooking spray or use crockpot liners if you prefer. Either option will make cleanup much easier. Pour the cake batter into the crockpot.
Step 2. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Place the cover on and allow to cook for 2-3 hours.
Step 3. Check the cake after 2 hours. Cooking times vary based on each slow cooker so it’s best to check it.
Step 4. Poke holes all over the cake. This will help the yummy liquid soak into every part of the cake.
Step 5. Pour the remaining sweetened condensed milk all over the top of the cake. Spread it all over the cake.
Step 6. Add the toppings to the cake. Pour the caramel ice cream topping all over the chocolate poke cake. Remove the insert and let chill for 30 minutes.
Step 7. Finally, add the cool whip and chopped toffee bits when ready to serve. Ice Cream is another yummy serving suggestion.
Pro Tips
- Generously poke holes. I like to use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes. Make sure to do this all over the cake so the filling can soak in.
- Check on the cake. Cooking times vary in slow cookers. Check on the cake after about 2 hours.
- Chill the cake. Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before adding whipped cream and candy. Serve at room temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can use a regular crock pot. However, if you prefer the cake look more like a regular cake, use a casserole style slow cooker.
Place leftovers in the fridge. Either place the lid on the crock pot insert or you can transfer the cake to an airtight container. Either option will keep the cake fresh.
Overcooking the cake is the likely culprit. Crock pot cooking times vary so keep that in mind. It’s a good idea to check on the cake while cooking.

I have a question that might sound stupid. Do I mix the cake mix with ingredients on box then add the additional ingredients listed?
Great question! Yes, prepare the cake mix based on the package instructions. Then pour the cake batter in the crock pot and top with the chocolate chips. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Can I use vanilla cake mix I stead
Yes, that would work great in this recipe.
Thank you! I can’t wait to try this!!
Can I use a 4 quart croc pot ?
In haven’t tried it in a 4 quart crock pot yet. However, I think that it would work but will need to cook longer to get fully cooked through.
What do the ingredients added to the stuff with the mix do? Does it add flavor or do something for the cooking process?
Both! These ingredients are needed for the cooking process and the sweetened condensed milk adds to the flavor of the cake and makes it very moist!
I love your recipes. Everything is very good.
How do I get the cake out of the crockpot???
I carefully removed pieces with a rubber spatula and it worked great!
