This Caramel Toffee Crunch Cake is rich, indulgent, and the perfect dessert for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 1/2 cups caramel sauce
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup crushed toffee or caramel candies for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
-
Creaming the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Mixing Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternatively with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the toffee bits.
-
Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
-
Topping the Cake: Once the cake is cool, spread the whipped cream over the top. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce. Sprinkle the crushed toffee or caramel candies over the top.
Notes
- Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the whipped cream to prevent melting.
- For a richer flavor, you can use homemade caramel sauce.
- If desired, add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel for a salted caramel version.
- Ensure even mixing to avoid air pockets in the cake, but avoid over-mixing, which can make the cake dense.
