BETTER THAN ANYTHING CAKE

Posted by on
Better than Anything Cake (aka Better than Sex Cake) made with homemade caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream. This recipe is one of our favorite cakes, ever!

I love any excuse to make a delicious and beautiful cake! In the past I’ve always stuck with 2 or 3-layer cakes that I can decorate pretty with piping or fruit. Naked cakes (like this berry cake) are fun, easy and beautiful.

Lately life has been BUSY! A new baby that attends Physical therapy, two toddlers in preschool, and a full-time business has kept me on my toes. I’ve had to make dessert for a few different occasions lately and I’ve come to love the ease of a cake made in a 9×13” pan.

Please tell me you’ve heard of this cake before? Some people refer to it as “Better than Sex” Cake, but we call it Better than Anything Cake!

If it’s new to you, then you’re in for a treat! If you’re familiar with it, read on, because there are a few things that make this recipe even tastier than most!

MY TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
1. YOU JUST CAN’T GO WRONG MAKING THIS RECIPE WITH HOMEMADE CARAMEL SAUCE!
I’ve used a jar of Mrs Richardson’s caramel topping when I was in a hurry, but honestly, it’s amazing with the homemade caramel! You could make the homemade caramel sauce several days in advance, to save time. It can be poured on the cake warm or cold.
2. AS A GENERAL RULE I ALWAYS USE FRESH WHIPPED CREAM INSTEAD OF COOL WHIP (WHICH MOST RECIPES FOR THIS CAKE CALL FOR).
I don’t like the processed, fake taste of cool whip, especially when fresh whipped cream is just as easy to make and tastes SOO much better! Just pour some in a bowl, add a little bit of sugar to sweeten it, and beat it until it’s thick and fluffy.
