    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    If you're on WW or just eating a low calorie diet this cake is pretty low in calories with the substitutes I used.

    Dairy Free Option: I tried making the frosting with Fair Life Milk since I've really cut back on milk in my diet. It works great and makes a really thick pudding. I could eat just the frosting alone. This milk has very high protein and it's lactose free.

    The ingredients are pretty simple and you 6 to make this better than sex cake. Make it for a crowd and people will be asking for the recipe.

    All these Ingredients you can get at Aldi. Just use the Benton's Cake Mix brand there. The wafers are crushed up knoppers.

    Ingredients Needed

    Ingredients needed for Better than sex cake.
    • Cake Mix - We like to keep things simple around here and this recipe uses a box of cake mix
    • Diet soda - Using diet soda is an old WW trick or hack if you must to help lower the calories in a box of cake mix. Any flavor will do.
    • Instant Vanilla Pudding (sugar-free) -  I’m a semi-homemade cook  and whenever I can use ingredients like this I love them. Just add in milk to the pudding. There are different sizes of pudding mix. The regular pudding mix are 3.4 oz and the sugar-free are 1oz. Both require the same amount of milk used. 
    • Cool Whip - A frozen whipped topping that is found in the freezer section of the grocery store. I like it a lot because I’m lazy and don’t like beating heavy cream to make whipped cream. 😉 
    • Milk or skim milk - if you want to add more protein try adding in Fairlife Protein Milk
    • Heath Bars are originally used for this recipe. When this recipe was first published on this site I had used Skinny Cow Bars cause they were really low in points. You can sub Kit Kats or crushed Oreos.
