Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box French vanilla cake mix
- 1 box Instant French vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Toffee bits (Heath or similar)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk chocolate, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the French vanilla cake mix and instant pudding mix.
Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Fold in 1 cup of toffee bits, reserving the remaining 0.5 cup for topping later.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of toffee bits and the chopped milk chocolate over the glaze.
Let the cake set for 10-15 minutes to allow the glaze to firm slightly before slicing.
Serve and enjoy this decadent French Vanilla Brickle Cake!
