Better-Than-Sex Cake

About this episode

The hosts explore the popular Better-Than-Sex Cake through recipe exchanges and discuss its cultural significance.

Can a cake be better than sex? Can it be better than anything? Even Robert Redford? Based on the thousands of online recipes (and variations) for Better-Than-Sex Cake, the answer is yes! This month, we exchanged recipes for this popular poke cake—one for the "classic" version and the other for a peanut butter variation—to find out which cake/syrup/pudding/whipped cream combination got our pulses racing. And what does all this have to do with Watergate Salad and Richard Nixon? Links for the episode: Is It Really Better Than Sex?
