Ooey Gooey Cake
Ingredients
- Chocolate cake mix 1 (typically requires 2–3 eggs and ½–1 cups vegetable oil)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 16 oz caramel syrup
- 8 oz whipped cream (1 frozen tub)
- 3 Skor bars
The sweetened condensed milk and the caramel syrup quantities are flexible. Purchase whatever can/bottle/container of each that is nearest to the specified quantities and just use the entire thing.
Instructions
Prepare and bake cake mix as directed. Place caramel syrup and sweetened condensed milk atop oven while the cake bakes to make them more pourable. While hot, poke holes into cake 2 at regular intervals, then pour the caramel syrup and sweetened condensed milk into the holes and over the top of the cake. Refrigerate uncovered until cool 3. Before serving, top with whipped cream and crushed Skor bars.

The original recipe calls for german chocolate cake mix, but devil’s food cake mix is also excellent. For those who dare, chocolate cake made from scratch will also suffice. ↩︎
I, like the original recipe, use the handle of a wooden spoon, which leads to holes about ½ inch in diameter. A wooden spoon is not specifically required. ↩︎
Two hours bare minimum, overnight maximum. The longer the caramel syrup and sweetened condensed milk have to soak into the cake, the better the texture. ↩︎
