Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake
- 1 box Chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake batter)
For the Filling and Topping
- 1 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (use coconut whipped cream for dairy-free option)
- 1 cup Toffee bits (can be substituted with any crunchy candy or nut brittle)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two cake pans and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Batter: Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions or your homemade recipe until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Batter into Pans: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool the Cakes: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely in their pans. Once cooled, transfer them to a wire rack to ensure even cooling.
- Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on your serving platter. Drizzle it generously with caramel sauce and sprinkle with toffee bits evenly over the caramel.
- Add Whipped Cream: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the toffee bits for a creamy texture contrast.
- Repeat Layers: Place the second cake layer on top, then repeat the caramel drizzle, toffee sprinkle, and whipped cream layering to complete the assembly.
- Finish Decoration: Top the entire cake with a generous dollop of whipped cream, additional caramel drizzles, and a final sprinkle of toffee bits for an inviting presentation.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whipped cream with coconut whipped cream.
- Toffee bits can be replaced by crushed nut brittle or any crunchy candy for different textures.
- Make sure the cakes are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
- Homemade caramel sauce enhances flavor but store-bought is a convenient alternative.
- Store the cake in the refrigerator if not serving immediately, and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
