Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the softened butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the toffee bits with a spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, generously drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining toffee bits.
Serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the caramel sauce or use a homemade caramel with less sugar.

For a nutty twist, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter along with the toffee bits.

For a variation, swap the toffee bits for crushed candy bars or chocolate chips.

This cake can be made a day ahead and stored tightly wrapped at room temperature. Add caramel sauce just before serving.

The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave individual slices.
