Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup toffee bits or chopped toffee candy
For the Toffee Sauce:
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Fold in the toffee bits.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make Toffee Sauce: While the cake is baking, prepare the toffee sauce by combining brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Serve: Once the cake is done, let it cool for a few minutes, then poke holes in the top with a fork and drizzle the warm toffee sauce over the cake. Serve warm or at room temperature.
