Something Better Than Sex for V-day

Want something better than sex this year for Valentine's Day?  Whether you have someone special to spend this annual love-filled day with or not, you will for sure be pleased.  

If you've ever heard of Better Than Sex Cake and fell in love with it but ran away from it due to the calorie count? Well here is my special Valentine's Day gift to you; a recipe for Better Than Sex Cake with half the calories of the normal recipe!  So go ahead and feel free to stuff your face with this chocolaty goodness without the guilt.

You will need...
1 (12 ounce) can Diet Coke (Coke Zero is better)


  • 1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix
  • egg white
  • ounces fat free caramel topping
  • ounces fat-free condensed milk
  • english toffee-flavored candy bar, chopped up
  • ounces fat-free whipped topping

  • Then you'll have to...
  • First preheat the over to 350 degrees.
  • Mix together the cake mix, egg white, and soda.
  • Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 pan.
  • Bake for 35 minutes.
  • During the last few minutes of baking, put the caramel and condensed milk in a saucepan on low heat and cook until it is smooth.
  • After 35 minutes is up, remove cake from over and pour caramel over the top.
  • Sprinkle half of the candy bar on top.
  • Let is sit and cook completely.
  • Lastly, cover with whipped topping and sprinkle the remaining candy bar bits on top.


  • Now you have the exact same delicious recipe with half the calories!  The original recipe has 384 calories per serving, while this lightened up version only has 143.  Choosing the fat-free caramel, milk, and whipped topping has a lot to do with the decrease in calories.  The diet soda also adds flavor without the addition of extra sugar.
      
    After having my mom try this masterpiece, she said "It almost is better than the original recipe because it has a lighter taste to it so there's no guilt!"  What more could you want than something that is better than sex, and without feeling bad about it afterwards! This desert is the perfect treat for Valentine's Day if you are in love wanting to share something special with their lover, or if your that person who absolutely dreads this time of year.
