History and Origin of the Better Than Sex Cake
Better Than Sex Cake is a popular recipe in American home cooking, especially in the southern United States. Its peculiar and eye-catching name has sparked curiosity and convictions about its exceptionally delicious flavor. This cake combines intense textures and flavors, mainly thanks to the mixture of traditional ingredients with an extra touch of chocolate and nuts.
In Latin America, although there is no specific name for this recipe, similar variants can be found under generic names like "chocolate and nut cake" or "moist chocolate cake." In countries like Mexico, Argentina, or Colombia, these types of cakes are usually prepared with local ingredients and variations in the filling, but the essence remains: it is a hearty and very rich-tasting cake.
Its origin is not clearly documented, but it is believed to have emerged from home creativity to improve basic cake recipes by adding pudding and sour cream to give the mixture moisture and richness. The use of sour cream is characteristic in many North American recipes to achieve softer and juicier cakes.
