Chocolate And Toffee Layer Cake
- 18 ounces chocolate cake mix (also oil, eggs, and water as directed)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 8 ounces toffee pieces
- CAKE: Prepare cake mix as directed, adding 1 cup sour cream to batter before mixing.
- Pour into two round cake pans and bake as directed on box. Cool layers thoroughly.
- (For frosting: Place a mixing bowl and beater into the refrigerator ahead of time to better whip the cream.).
- Slice each cake layer in half horizontally. (I find this easier if I completely freeze the layers beforehand, then use a very sharp serrated knife!) You now have 4 cake layers. Set aside.
- FROSTING: Using your cold mixing bowl, blend together whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. (you can taste this mixture and decide if you want to add more sugar.).
- Beat at high speed for several minutes, until you achieve "Cool Whip" consistency. (Don't over beat; it will get too thick.).
- Gently fold in the toffee bits.
- Frost the cake! Mmmmm -- .
