I finally got around to trying a cake recipe that more one person has gushed about. The cake its self is known by many different names. &#8220;Better than sex cake&#8221;, &#8220;Better than Brad Pitt cake&#8221;, &#8220;Butterfinger cake&#8221;, etc., etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also different versions of the cake with some recipes calling for a yellow cake mix. Some call for a fudge cake mix, or German chocolate. Some recipes use crushed Butterfinger candy bars, and some recipes call for using Heath candy bars. I came across one recipe that even suggested sprinkling on chocolate chips before baking and the chips are supposed to melt and sink towards the bottom to create a bit of a chocolate crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the premise of the cake recipes are pretty much all of the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix up and bake a cake mix according to directions in a 9 x 13-inch pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow the cake to cool slightly or completely, again depending on which recipe you are following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the handle of a wooden spoon, pokes holes all over the top of your cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drizzle on a half or full can of sweetened condensed milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drizzle on a jar of caramel topping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crush your candy bars into fine pieces, and sprinkle on top of the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spread whipped cream or a carton of cool whip on top and garnish with more crushed candy pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow to chill for several hours or overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Verdict:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will not make it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see the hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a cloyingly sweet cake that resulted in a concoction of sugar overload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much sugar in any recipe will render the recipe of having little taste except for sugar and this is one of those recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry fans of this cake, I am not one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minus the one piece that I tried the rest of the cake was tossed into the freezer for me to try and pawn off on the next unsuspecting visiting relative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By all means, try the cake yourself. Whether you think it&#8217;s better than sex, is up to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I did it.
