Toffee Bundt Cake

I love bundt cakes and I love toffee.  So why not combine them?

This is pretty simple to make, and is also one of those great dessert-for-breakfast recipes where it’s maybe not “officially” a breakfast food.  But I made it one and so can you.  I mean, there’s eggs in there, right?

Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ t salt
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 2 eggs, brought to room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter, brought to room temperature
  • 3 t vanilla
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup, Heath Bar toffee bits

Bundt Filling

  • 4 T butter
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup, Heath Bar toffee bits
  • 1 t vanilla

Directions

Butter and flour or spray a bundt pan and set that aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set that aside as well.

In a large bowl, put the eggs, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and buttermilk and mix until smooth, probably a couple minutes.  Grab the bowl with your dry ingredients and slowly add them in until everything is just combined.  Finally, stir in your Heath bar chips until they’re evenly distributed.  This is your batter – set it aside for just a moment.IMG_8994

On to the filling.  Roughly chop up your butterscotch chips.  In a small bowl melt the butter then mix in all of your remaining filling ingredients – the chips, toffee bits and vanilla and stir until wel combined.IMG_8995

Now we’re going to do a little layering.  First, grab your prepared bundt pan and lightly coat the bottom of the pan with a little bit of your filling – I just spooned a few small spoonfuls and spread them out with my fingers.  This’ll help give it a little crunch when it’s cooked.  Not too much though!  You want a nice amount of filling.IMG_8996

Next, pour and pour about half of your batter into it the pan.  After that, as evenly as you can, spoon the filling over the batter, and then pour the remaining half of the batter over that.

Bake at 350 for about 50-60 minute, or until the edges and top and a nice golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out nice and dry.IMG_9001

Move the pan to a wire rack and let it cool in the pan for about an hour, then remove it and let it cool the rest of the way.

Slice up that bad boy and enjoy!  (Totally have it for breakfast and then again for dessert after dinner because you deserve it.)IMG_9012
