Description
A delightful Toffee Crunch Cake that combines rich flavors and a crunchy texture, 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
- 1 tablespoon 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)
- Extra toffee bits for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your 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 a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the toffee bits gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Place the second layer on top and spread more whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
- Garnish the cake with extra toffee bits for decoration.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the batter.
- You can also substitute the toffee bits with chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a different twist.
