Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter, softened
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
• 120 milliliters whole milk
• 150 milliliters toffee sauce
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt.

Step 5

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.

Step 7

Drizzle the toffee sauce over the first layer of batter, ensuring it stays within 1/2 inch of the edges to prevent sticking to the pan.

Step 8

Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the toffee layer and spread it gently to cover. Be careful not to mix the layers.

Step 9

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden, the edges are set, and a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the toffee center) comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then run a knife along the edges to loosen and invert it onto a serving plate.

Step 11

Once cooled completely, dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve. Enjoy the ooey-gooey toffee butter cake!
