1¼ cups water 284 grams
½ cup vegetable oil 100 grams
3 large eggs 150 grams
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 396 grams (1 can)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams, divided
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1½ cups heavy whipping cream 341 grams, cold
2 tablespoons powdered sugar 14 grams

Instructions

Bake the chocolate cake mix as directed on the box. Once it is out of the oven and baked, cool completely.
15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix, 1¼ cups water, ½ cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs
Once cooled, create small holes throughout the entire cake with the back of a narrow mixing spoon. Be sure to not poke all the way through the cake. Set aside.
In a small bowl combine the sweetened and condensed milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until combined.
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Pour the sweetened and condensed milk mixture over the cake. The mixture should fill all the holes created previously.
Chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes for best results.
While the cake is chilling, make the whipped cream: In a large bowl combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered, sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on high until it thickens and has the consistency of whipped cream, about 3-5 minutes.
1½ cups heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Using a spatula or other tool, spread the whipped cream over the entire cake in an even layer, then drizzle the caramel sauce and toffee bits evenly over the cake, optional.

Notes

Be sure to not poke all the way through the cake when you make the holes. They should be about 3/4 of the way through the cake.
The holes should be around 1 inch apart. Too close together and the cake will be too moist, too far apart and there may not be enough filling.
Let the cake cool completely before poking the holes.
Nutritional information does not include optional garnishes.

Storage: Store better than sex cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months (without the whipped cream).
