Rich, festive cake with buttery layers, sweet toffee bits, and crunchy nuts—ideal for holiday celebrations.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup sugar
06 - 4 large eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Add-Ins
08 - 1 cup toffee bits
09 - 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, ensuring thorough coverage to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
03 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tender texture.
06 - Gently fold toffee bits and chopped nuts into batter using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed throughout.
07 - Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
08 - Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto wire racks. Cool completely before frosting or serving.
