Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box Chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake batter)
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 (or substitute with 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.
- Mixing the Batter: Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to package directions or your homemade recipe until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Batter: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the cakes are cooked through.
- Cooling: Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans to set, then transfer them carefully onto a wire rack to cool fully.
- First Layer Assembly: Place one cake layer on your serving platter. Drizzle evenly with caramel sauce and sprinkle generously with toffee bits.
- Add Whipped Cream: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the toffee bits to add creaminess and balance the crunch.
- Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top of the whipped cream layer.
- Repeat Topping: Drizzle caramel sauce and sprinkle more toffee bits over the top cake layer.
- Finish Decoration: Add a final dollop of whipped cream, then drizzle caramel sauce and a sprinkle of toffee bits to decorate the top of the cake for an irresistible finish.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute regular whipped cream with coconut whipped cream.
- To make caramel sauce from scratch, use a simple recipe combining sugar, butter, and cream for a rich homemade touch.
- Toffee bits can be swapped with other crunchy elements like crushed nuts or brittle for different textures and flavors.
- Ensure cake layers are completely cooled before assembling to prevent whipped cream from melting.
- Store cake covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
