Instructions
Preparation

- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and spread it evenly.
Baking
- Bake according to the box instructions for about 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
Layering
- Warm the caramel sauce in a saucepan and stir in the toffee bits until they soften.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the cooled cake, allowing it to seep into every crevice.
- Spread whipped cream atop the caramel, then sprinkle with crushed toffee bits.
- Drizzle more caramel sauce over the top before serving.
Chilling
- Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to meld the flavors.
Notes
Ensure to let the cake cool fully before layering to avoid a messy presentation. Substituting part of the butter with applesauce can lighten the cake. Consider using almond flour for a gluten-free version.
