Ingredients
Instructions
- Make cake according to directions on box and bake in 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Immediately after removing from oven, poke holes all over cake and pour Eagle Brand milk and caramel sauce over top of cake.
- Allow cake to completely cool and then ice with Cool Whip.
- Crush Skor candy bars and sprinkle over cake.
- Keep refrigerated.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a homemade chocolate cake recipe instead of a box mix. You can substitute the Eagle Brand milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free version. If you want extra texture, add chopped nuts or toffee bits along with the crushed Skor bars. Remember to poke holes in the cake while it's still warm to allow the toppings to soak in.
Serving Suggestions
This Skor Cake is perfect as a standalone dessert but can also be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. Consider serving it alongside coffee or a dessert wine for a delightful end to a meal. For a special occasion, it complements well with other sweet treats from American recipes like Best Brownies or Toffee Brickle.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Skor Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy it slightly warm, you can microwave a slice for about 10-15 seconds. If you prefer a chilled dessert, serve it straight from the fridge, which enhances the creamy texture of the Cool Whip topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Absolutely! While chocolate cake is traditional, you can experiment with other flavors like vanilla or caramel cake mixes. Just ensure the flavors complement the caramel and chocolate toppings for a cohesive dessert experience.

You can prepare the cake a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Just add the toppings right before serving to maintain their freshness and texture. This makes it a great option for events or gatherings.
