Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend as a substitute)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or vegan butter)
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs (or flaxseed meal/applesauce for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9-inch cake pan.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in toffee bits and chopped nuts gently to distribute evenly.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs and butter for a lighter crumb. For extra shine, brush the warm top with a thin syrup made from equal parts sugar and water. Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
