Better Than Sex Cake/ Chocolate

This is the chocolate lover’s answer to the Better Than Sex Cake debate, and it plays dirty.

German chocolate cake mix gets supercharged with chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped pecans, then baked in a bundt pan until it’s dense, fudgy, and ridiculously moist.

Once it cools, you poke holes through the top and pour a warm butterscotch-cream mixture that seeps into every crevice.

Serve each slice with a crown of whipped cream, a drizzle of butterscotch, and a scatter of crushed Heath bar bits for that salty toffee crunch.

Chef Tips

• Toss the chocolate chips and pecans in a tablespoon of the dry cake mix before folding them in. This keeps them from sinking to the bottom of the bundt pan.
• Sour cream is the secret weapon here. It adds moisture and a slight tang that cuts through all that chocolate richness.
• Use a wooden skewer rather than a fork to poke the holes. Bigger holes mean more butterscotch soaks in.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan for 15 minutes, then flip it onto a rack before poking and soaking.
