Instructions

1. Bake the Cake:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix with water, oil, and eggs according to package directions.

• Fold in the toffee bits and nuts (if using).

• Pour batter into a greased 9×13-inch pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.

• Let cake cool completely.

2. Make the Homemade Caramel Sauce:

• In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

• Stir in brown sugar and heavy cream.

• Bring to a gentle boil, whisking continuously, for 3–5 minutes until thickened slightly.

• Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.

• Let cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Cake:

• If using round cake layers, spread a thin layer of caramel sauce and whipped topping between layers.

• For a sheet cake, poke small holes with a skewer and drizzle caramel sauce over the top.

• Spread whipped topping over the cake.

• Sprinkle generously with extra toffee bits.

• Drizzle more caramel sauce over everything for that perfect sticky finish.

4. Chill & Serve:

• Chill cake in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

• Slice and enjoy the caramel-toffee bliss!

Optional Add-Ons:
