Reviews

  1. I love this cake but like another reviewer, I will NOT use Cool Whip because it has an awful after taste and if you ever read the ingredients on the bowl, you will realize it is just a bunch of chemicals and NOT food. Whip up some real whipped cream and add a bit of powdered sugar and 2 TBL of softened cream cheese so that it keeps firm longer. It only takes five minutes to do this. You will be glad you made the substitution. And I too, have made it with chocolate cake mix and the results were great. Mrs. Richardson's Carmel Topping is the best Store bought topping I have ever tried.
     
  2. This is also a favorite of mine! AIthough I prefer to use Devil's Food Cake mix and Mrs.Richardson's Carmel Butterscotch topping. I think it is sweet enough without the condensed milk, so, I omitted it, and it was fine. Some hints to try are: Use a straw instead of a wooden spoon to poke the holes and the cake mix won't stick. Also, allow the cake to sit overnight in the fridge with the carmel topping before you add the cool whip and it will be even better! Thanks for the recipe! They loved it at work!
     
  3. Awesome! This is the one I was looking for, the one we made back in the 70s, very rich and decadent. I made a homemade chocolate cake instead of using the mix as I didn't have one. I don't think the cake matters, as long as it's chocolate since the toppings are what make this better than sex!
     
  4. I used devil's food mix and real whipped cream plopped on top. Very good cake. I would say it serves 15, you really don't want a giant piece of this. I also used another recipe at this site, Cake Mix Extender, which I now use every time I make a cake mix cake for a higher, bigger cake.
     
  5. I wasn't sure if I should post a review because I made so many changes. I decided I should because it came out so well and I think you could mix and match using so many combinations and the cake would turn out great. I had odds and ends that I wanted to use up so that was my motivation for the changes I made. I used a butter cake mix, only a half can of sweetened condensed milk, homemade caramel sauce, cool whip and no chopped toffee. I had the toffee, but thought it may be too sweet. The cake turned out delicious. I'm looking forward to trying this technique using a made from scratch cake and real whipped cream. Thanks so much for posting!
