Step-by-Step Instructions for Toffee Crunch Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, folding gently until combined.
  6. Fold in the toffee bits, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips gently.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, layer the cakes with whipped cream and dust the top with powdered sugar.
