Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk Can be substituted with almond milk.
  • ½ cup vegetable oil Can be substituted with coconut oil.
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped toffee bits Plus extra for topping.
  • 1 cup caramel sauce Preferably homemade or a quality store-bought version.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Optional for ganache.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Fold in the chopped toffee bits to bring a delightful crunch into your batter.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Assembly
  1. Once cooled, spread a generous layer of caramel sauce between the cake layers.
  2. Drape more caramel sauce generously on top.
  3. If you’d like to go the extra mile, melt chocolate chips in a microwave and pour over the top for a chocolate ganache finish, then sprinkle additional chopped toffee on top.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate to extend freshness. For reheating, pop a slice in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warmed.
