Ingredients

1 box Chocolate cake mix (or homemade recipe)
1 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup Whipped cream (use coconut whipped cream for dairy-free)
1 cup Toffee bits (or substitute with crunchy candy or nut brittle)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two cake pans and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions until smooth, then divide it evenly between the prepared pans.
Step 3: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 4: Place one cake layer on your serving platter. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce and sprinkle with toffee bits.
Step 5: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the toffee bits, then add the second cake layer on top.
Step 6: Repeat the caramel drizzle and toffee sprinkle, then finish with a dollop of whipped cream and a final caramel drizzle on top.

Tips & Variations

For added texture, chill the cake before slicing to keep the layers firm and neat.
Swap toffee bits for chopped nuts or crushed cookies for a different crunch.
Make homemade caramel sauce for a richer, personalized flavor.
Use dairy-free whipped cream to make this dessert vegan-friendly.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the whipped cream fresh. Let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped tightly for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before eating.

FAQs

Can I use homemade cake instead of the boxed mix?

Absolutely! This recipe works wonderfully with any chocolate cake, whether homemade or boxed. Just bake two layers to the same size for assembly.

How do I prevent the whipped cream from melting on the cake?

Keep the cake refrigerated until serving and use stabilized whipped cream if possible. Chilling the cake before serving also helps the whipped cream hold its shape longer.
