Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 (200 g) package SKOR or Heath Bar bits

For the Toffee Frosting:

    • ½ cup vegetable shortening
    • ½ cup margarine
    • 3 cups icing sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • ½ cup SKOR or Heath Bar bits

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.

  • Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until fully combined.

  • Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the SKOR or Heath Bar bits.

  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

  • Make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the vegetable shortening and margarine until light and fluffy. Slowly mix in the icing sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

  • Frost the cake: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake and sprinkle with additional toffee bits for garnish.

  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Keep the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freezing Option: The unfrosted cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before frosting and serving.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to enhance the toffee flavor.
  • Alternative Frosting: Swap toffee frosting for a chocolate ganache or caramel drizzle for a different twist.
