• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• ½ tsp baking soda
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  
• 1 cup buttermilk
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  

For the Caramel Toffee Layer:

• ½ cup brown sugar
  
• ¼ cup heavy cream
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.
   
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   
3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   
4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
   
5. Pour the batter evenly into the two greased and lined cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without any wet batter.
   
6. Let the cakes cool completely before assembling.
   

2. Make the Caramel Toffee Layer

1. Add the butter and brown sugar to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until fully melted and bubbling..
   
2. Add heavy cream and stir continuously for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
   
3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and fold in crushed toffee bits.
   

3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

1. Warm heavy cream in a small saucepan until it simmers.
   
2. Pour over chocolate chips and let it sit for 2 minutes.
   
3. Stir until smooth and glossy.
   

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the caramel toffee mixture evenly over it.
   
2. Add the second cake layer on top.
   
3. Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to cascade down the edges.
   
4. Decorate with extra toffee bits if desired.
   
5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the layers set.
   

Tips for the Perfect Cake

• Use high-quality chocolate for a richer ganache.
  
• Let the cake layers cool completely before adding caramel to prevent it from melting.
  
• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, but bring to room temperature before serving.
