For the Cake:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup toffee bits plus extra for topping
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional toffee bits for garnish
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 5: Fold in Toffee Bits
Step 8: Prepare the Topping
Step 9: Assemble the Cake
If you used round cake pans, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then sprinkle with additional toffee bits. Place the second layer on top and repeat the process. If using a single-layer cake, simply spread the whipped cream on top and garnish with toffee bits.
This butter toffee cake is incredibly versatile. For a more decadent version, drizzle melted chocolate over the frosting or add a layer of caramel in between.
You can also turn this recipe into cupcakes by using a muffin tin and adjusting the baking time to about 20-25 minutes.
