This decadent dessert recipe for Crock-Pot Better Than Sex Cake is well…maybe, just maybe better than sex. Chocolate, caramel, toffee…OH MY!
Crock-Pot Better Than Sex Cake
My first experience with this cake was at a work luncheon. A co-worker of mine made a regular better than sex cake (by regular I mean baked in the traditional oven) and brought it to share with the office.
Unfortunately, two pieces later and I was HOOKED and I knew I had to try my hand at making this decadent cake in my slow cooker.
This cake is a luscious combination of caramel, chocolate cake and sweetened condensed milk. It’s a poke cake that comes out so creamy and it melts in your mouth with a topping of whipped cream and a little more caramel drizzled over the top.
I used my Casserole Crock-Pot in this recipe because I wanted the cake to look like a normal oven baked cake, but if you don’t have one you can totally make this in your 6 quart oval. It just won’t be rectangular and the cake may be a little thicker.
As always, my neighbor and his son came over to try the dessert. They are always really great about trying out new recipes and different things and giving me their honest opinion. They loved it!
This is definitely one cake that I will make again and again. I love that it was rather easy to make and the end result was super tasty. My own kids loved the cake too, I just didn’t reveal the tantalizing name of the cake to them…instead I called it “The Best Darn Cake Ever”. 😉

This looks amazing! I’ve heard of better-than-sex cake before and have never tried it but the fact that you can make it in a crockpot makes me finally want to give it a try!
Hope you try it out Crystal!
I noticed in the directions that it says to poke holes in the cake but the video doesn’t show it. So which is it poke or no poke?
Was wondering if you poke or don’t poke the cake
Hi Rhonda, you poke holes in the cake. We just accidentally left off that step in the video.
Can you make jn the oven if you don’t have a crock pot handy?
Hi Cathy, yes you can make this Better Than Sex Cake in the oven if you don’t have a slow cooker. Just follow the directions on the box of cake mix for cooking times and temperature.
Did you remove from crockpot……or served from it??
If you removed you nest have to cool first or it would break…… so when did ya do the holes and camel?
Hi Terri,
You can serve it from the crockpot. You do the holes and the caramel right when it’s done cooking. Then chill it. When you go to serve it, it should be able to be cut and served easily. Then you can top each serving with whipped cream and whatever other toppings you want. Hope you enjoy!
