The English Toffee Crunch Cake

My mom will celebrate her  birthday tomorrow. And, we are all excited for that day. We are used to celebrating our birthdays with no guests and lots of food to eat but we make sure it would be very special, a great family bonding time.

My mom loves chocolate cake so I baked a cake for her tonight (just finished it 10 minutes ago). Yes, I did it as early as now to avoid stress, LOL. I want to share to you the recipe of chocolate cake I baked – ENGLISH TOFFEE CRUNCH CAKE. It is so easy to do. A stress-free recipe for non-bakers. Thanks to Pillsbury. Mind you, you  can get protein, vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, calcium and iron from this cake.

INGREDIENTS:

for CAKE:

  • 1 pack Pillsbury Plus German chocolate cake mix
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 3 eggs

for FROSTING:

  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1/4 tsp instant coffee
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp chocolate flavored flavored liqueur (optional)
  • 6 pcs toffee candy bars

PROCEDURE:

CAKE:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Combine all cake ingredients in a large bowl at low speed until moistened. Then, beat 2 minutes at the highest speed.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pans.
  • Bake it for 25 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let it cool for 15 minutes before removing in the pan. Then, cool completely.

FROSTING:

  • In a large bowl, beat whipping cream and instant coffee until slightly thickened. Add brown sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in liqueur.

THE  PLAYFUL COMBINATION TIME:

  • Split each cake layer in half horizontally to form four layers.
  • Place 1 cake layer cut side up on serving plate.
  • Spread with half cup of frosting.
  • Crush 1 toffee candy bar and sprinkle over frosting.
  • Top with a second cake layer.
  • Spread with another half cup of frosting.
  • Crush another toffee candy bar and sprinkle over frosting.
  • Repeat with remaining layers.
  • Frost top and sides with remaining frosting.
  • Coarsely chop the remaining toffee candy bars and sprinkle on top and sides of cake.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • This makes 12 servings.

Note: Store the cake in refrigerator, not at room temperature.
