Cake Batter
- 15.25 oz. devil’s food cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Toppings and Fillings
- 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup caramel topping, plus extra for drizzling
- 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
- 3 Heath bars, chopped (approx. 4.2 ounces)
- Chocolate sauce, for drizzling
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the devil’s food cake mix, eggs, water, and melted butter until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker insert generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the slow cooker, spreading it evenly to create a smooth layer.
- Cook the Cake: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on the high setting for 2 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to ensure even baking.
- Poke Holes and Add Soaking Mixture: Once cooking is complete, use the end of a spoon to gently poke holes all over the cake layer. Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top, followed by ½ cup of caramel topping. This will soak into the cake to add moisture and flavor. Remove the slow cooker insert and let it cool on the counter.
- Chill the Cake: When the bottom of 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 allow flavors to meld and toppings to set.
- Add Whipped Topping and Garnish: Once chilled, spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the surface of the cake. Sprinkle the chopped Heath bars generously on top, then drizzle additional caramel and chocolate sauce over the dessert for extra indulgence.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cake by scooping out generous portions with a large spoon. Enjoy the rich, gooey, and creamy layers of this irresistible slow cooker dessert.
Notes
- Do not open the slow cooker lid during baking to ensure the cake cooks evenly.
- For a firmer texture, chill the cake overnight before serving.
- Use full-fat Cool Whip or similar whipped topping for best flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Feel free to substitute Heath bars with other toffee or chocolate candy bars of your choice.
