Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 cup milk (at room temperature)
- 0 cups vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0 cups cocoa powder
- 0 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin but that’s okay!
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting by beating the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cream, and vanilla, beating until smooth.
- Place one cake layer on a serving platter, spread a layer of caramel sauce on top, and sprinkle with toffee bits.
- Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with the chocolate frosting. Drizzle additional caramel on top and garnish with more toffee bits.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Store the cake in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
