  • Preheat oven to temperature specified on the cake mix box.
  • Prepare the German Chocolate Cake mix as directed on the box.
  • Bake cake in a 9x13 glass cake pan, for as long as directed on the cake mix box.
  • When cake is done allow to cool until it is just barely warm.
  • When the cake is just barely warm take a wooden spoon handle and poke holes in the top of the cake. Put as many holes as you want.
  • Take carmel and drizzle over the top of the cake allowing it to run into the holes. Use the whole jar.
  • Take the sweetened condensed milk and drizzle over the top of the cake allowing it to run into the holes. Use the whole can.
  • When the cake is completely cool take the container of cool whipe and spread all over the top of the cake, until whole cake is covered. If cake isn't completely cooled the cool whip will melt and run off.

  1. Very rich! I used yellow cake mix. I would say it's too sweet, but it's more of a portion control issue. Almost Tres Leches like in taste/texture. Yummy.
     
  2. This is one of my husband's favorite desserts, and asks me to make it every chance I can -- we call it "Great Cake" because it truly is GREAT! :) I usually do Recipe #208645 instead of the chocolate cake and it's still just as rich and delicious. I also use just two candy bars and find that's plenty for the top.
     
  3. This is so easy and so delicious. I made it for my granchild's dad for a birthday surprise. HE LOVED IT! A great winner in this household. Thanks for sharing. Melanie
     
  4. My Mom and a friend at work both make this cake and it is TO DIE FOR!! Everyone will ask for the recipe and it will be gone FAST!! I have also seen it made with different kinds of candy, but I think butterfingers are the best!

hI My name is Jennifer and I have 2 passions in this world. They include my family and cooking. I love to cook and to try new things. Sometimes my boyfriends thinks I am crazy when I am cooking and trying new things but he always seems to like them. Cooking is one my favorite things. I am always cooking and my boyfriend and family absolutely love it. They never know what is going to be baking or on the stove when they come in. I haven't had any bad reviews yet from them.
