2. Ingredients for Caramel Toffee Crunch Cake

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • ½ cup crushed graham crackers (for added crunch)
  • Optional: additional caramel sauce for drizzling

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Caramel Toffee Crunch Cake

Preparation of the Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened KitchenAid Classic Iconic Stand Mixer for smooth blending of ingredients. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the heavy cream, until you achieve a silky batter. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Adding the Toffee and Crunch Elements

Gently fold in the toffee bits and crushed graham crackers to the batter, ensuring even distribution for maximum crunch. This creates a delightful texture that contrasts beautifully with the soft cake.

Baking the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or adding additional caramel drizzle.

Preparing the Caramel Sauce

While the cake cools, prepare a rich homemade caramel sauce using Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for precise temperature control. To make the caramel, melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until amber-colored, then carefully whisk in heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Simmer until smooth. Pour warm caramel generously over the cooled cake for an indulgent finish.

4. Storage Tips for Caramel Toffee Crunch Cake

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, bring the cake to room temperature before serving. You can also freeze the cake for up to one month; just wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and foil. To maintain freshness and texture, avoid storing the cake with exposed frosting or caramel that might become sticky upon refrigeration.

5. Serving Suggestions for your Delicious Caramel Toffee Crunch Cake

This decadent caramel toffee crunch cake is perfect for celebrations, holidays, or simply indulging in a sweet treat. Serve slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added appeal. For a delightful presentation, garnish with extra toffee bits and a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.
