Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup caramel sauce (for filling and topping)
- 1 cup toffee bits
- Chocolate frosting of choice
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake the Cakes: Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread with caramel sauce and sprinkle with toffee bits.
- Top with the second cake layer, spread chocolate frosting over the top and sides. Drizzle with more caramel and add additional toffee bits.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing for easier cutting.
Notes
- Substitute store-bought caramel sauce for a quicker option.
- For extra crunch, add crushed toffee bits between layers.
