How to Make Layered Toffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your favorite 9x13 inch cake recipe (or use a boxed mix). Bake according to package directions or your recipe, and let it cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup of prepared toffee ice cream topping (store-bought or homemade) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Carefully cut the cooled cake horizontally into three even layers.
  5. Place the bottom cake layer on a serving plate.
  6. Spread 1/3 cup of the cream mixture evenly over the bottom layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of crushed toffee candy bars.
  7. Repeat layers 6 and 7 with the remaining cake layers and cream mixture, ending with a cake layer on top.
  8. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining crushed toffee candy bars over the frosting.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
