Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the toffee bits until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
To create the topping, in a small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar, if using.
Slice the cake into 12 servings and enjoy with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
