It’s a twist on the classic ‘Better Than Anything Cake’ recipe, and let me tell you, it’s a chocolate lover’s paradise.
I stumbled upon this delicious dessert when I was looking for something special to make for a family gathering. Years ago, this one used to be popular at family gatherings.

- Chocolaty Goodness: With devil’s food cake mix and chocolate syrup, it’s a rich chocolate cake that satisfies any chocolate craving.

- Devil’s food cake mix
- Sweetened condensed milk

- Oreos
HOW TO MAKE BETTER THAN SEX CAKE:
- Mix and prepare the cake per the directions on the back of the box.
- While the cake is baking, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate syrup until smooth.
- Once the cake is done baking, start poking holes in it with a fork all over while still warm.
- Drizzle the condensed milk mixture all over the cake, I like to take a spatula to move the filling around so it soaks into the holes of the cake and doesn’t all run off the sides.
- Allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
- Once the cake is cool, make the topping by whisking the whole milk and pudding mix until smooth.
- Whisk in the chocolate syrup.
- Whisk in the whipped topping a little at a time until fully mixed in with no streaks, it may be a little lumpy, but that’s okay.
- Smooth the whipped topping mixture all over the cake; there is a lot, but use it all. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours to chill and set, even better overnight.
- When ready to serve, top with the crushed Oreos. Serve slices with more chocolate sauce on top if desired.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN REGULAR BETTER THAN SEX CAKE?
This version has an Oreo twist! It adds a delightful crunch and extra chocolate flavor to the classic chocolate poke cake.
As far as I’m concerned, it is far superior to the original. Just give it a try and you’ll see for yourself!
WHAT KIND OF CAKE MIX SHOULD I USE?
Devil’s food cake mix is my favorite for its deep chocolate flavor, but feel free to use any chocolate cake batter you like.

Absolutely! If you have a favorite chocolate cake recipe, you can use it as the base for this decadent dessert.
Add some homemade whipped cream to the top of the cake for even more yumminess. As far as I’m concerned, homemade is always better!
