Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Toffee Crunch Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and dusting them.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then pour in vanilla and blend until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then fold into the wet mixture.
  5. Gradually add buttermilk, alternating with the flour mixture, folding until just combined.
  6. Fold in toffee bits, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Layer the cakes on a serving plate with whipped cream in between, dust with powdered sugar, and add extra toffee bits or pecans on top.
  11. Slice and serve with extra whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
