Print Recipe

A festive cake that’s sweet, crunchy, and soft, perfect for holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the toffee bits, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips gently into the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream (if using) on top. Then, place the second layer on top.
  11. Dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with additional toffee bits or pecans if desired.
  12. Slice and serve to your delighted guests.

Notes

For extra creaminess, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
