One of my favorite desserts is the ever-so-popular “Better than Anything Cake”. Chocolate cake with sweetened condensed milk soaked into it. A hint of caramel sauce. Whipped cream topping with candy bar pieces dusting the top. 

 Yummy, yet so unhealthy. 

 I created my own version with a fudgy, brownie-like cake, sweetened condensed milk from a genius THM blogger, a hot fudge sauce that I created from lite coconut milk, and a caramel whipped cream topping. It’s reminiscent of a Snickers bar, only better. 

This recipe makes an 8×8 pan. It’s very rich, so I’d recommend using your self-control skills! It does take a little more work to make, but it is so worth it!

Better Than Snickers Cake



Here’s how to make it:

Fudgy-Brownie Cake Base: 

 
Combine 1 stick of melted butter with 1/2 C. Gentle Sweet and 3 T. almond or cashew Milk. Add 3 eggs and 1 t. vanilla and stir until smooth. Mix in 3/4 C. Baking Blend, 1/2 C. Cocoa, 1/2 t. baking powder and a pinch of salt. Pour into an 8×8 pan and bake at 350 for 28 minutes or until cooked through. 
 

 

 
While the cake is cooling, make the sauces. You can make one or both. If you’re making just one, I’d recommend doubling the condensed milk recipe. 🙂
 
 
I used this recipe for condensed milk from Joy Filled Eats. It’s super simple and so good!
 

I also created my own hot fudge recipe:

 
 
Combine 1/2 C. lite coconut milk, 1/4 C. cocoa, and 1/3 C. Gentle Sweet. Bring to a swift boil, then let simmer until thick. This sauce does have a hint of coconut flavor (obviously!), so if you’re not into that, you can use a plan approved chocolate syrup.
 
When the cake has cooled to room temperature, poke as many holes as possible into the surface. Pour the condensed milk and hot fudge into the holes and let it soak into the cake. 


To create your whipped cream topping:

 
Whip 1/2 C. cream, 1 t. caramel extract and 2 T. Gentle Sweet until light and fluffy. 
 
Top the cake with peanuts and 85% dark chocolate pieces!

    Your ingredient list doesn’t call for condensed milk, but the recipe steps (under hot fudge sauce) calls for it. Am I misunderstanding something?

      • Kyndall

        The recipe does not list condensed milk as an ingredient needed. I’m confused why its mentioned in the body of the post if it isn’t needed for this recipe.

        • Cate H

          It is listed in the recipe. The condensed milk is another blogger’s recipe, so out of respect for them, I can’t post their full recipe in my post. In the recipe, under the “Hot Fudge Sauce” section, you’ll see what to do with the condensed milk. 🙂

    This looks amazing. I have family coming into town today and I can’t wait to try this. Can I use regular coconut milk and still have it fall under an S meal?

    Im having trouble with your print button. Is it just me or a glitch? I can come back and try later. =)

      Hi, Jenny!

      I worked with tech support to hopefully fix this for you! Give it a try again and let me know if you still get an error. 🙂
