Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Toffee Crunch Cake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee bits (such as Heath Bar bits)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- Additional toffee bits for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the toffee bits.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle additional toffee bits on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a firmer texture.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add ½ cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
- You can also substitute the toffee bits with chocolate chips or crushed cookies for a different flavor.
