Description

The melted chocolate and toffee meld together to create this dreamy, decadent candy layer on top of an incredibly moist buttermilk cake. It is so very, very hard to stop eating.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 6 whole Chocolate Covered Toffee Bars (like Heath), Chopped

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and center a rack in the middle of the oven. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, flour and butter. Crumble these ingredients together with a pastry blender, whisk or two forks until the mixture is crumbly and coarse. Remove 1/2 cup of the crumbs to a small bowl and set aside. To the large bowl with the remaining crumbs, add the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix well.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it to the edges. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the reserved crumbs and chopped Heath bars. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is no longer gooey but a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. The cake may fall slightly in the center, leaving the edges raised. No fear! It will still be delicious.

I must have done something wrong with this recipe because there was barely enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan and it tasted very doughy. I seem to have a lot of trouble cooking lately! I’m sure it’s me and not the recipe.

So easy and SOOO yummy! I made it to take to some friends and only had a few pieces left at home. Husband and son immediately requested I bake one for home. BIG hit!

To die for. That is all that can be said about it. I made it for our superbowl party and it was a hit.

This cake is AMAZING! I had no problems having this bake up to a wonderful, moist cake. It wasn’t too sweet so I had a problem stopping at just one piece! I topped my piece with bannans and fresh whipped cream….divine! Will definetly be made again, and again, and again……
