Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup crushed toffee bits
  • Optional: whipped cream and additional toffee for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cake pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Spread caramel sauce evenly over the batter, then sprinkle half of the crushed toffee bits. Cover with remaining batter, repeat caramel and toffee layers.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once cooled, drizzle with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle with more toffee bits. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to evenly distribute the caramel sauce for a caramel swirl effect.
  • You can bake the cake ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
  • Use high-quality caramel sauce for maximum flavor.
  • To enhance crunch, add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts into the batter.
