A delicious layered cake featuring rich chocolate, creamy caramel, and crunchy toffee, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup toffee bits
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).
- Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
- Once cooled, slice each cake in half horizontally, creating four layers total.
- Layer one cake on a serving plate. Spread caramel sauce over it, followed by toffee bits. Place the second layer on top.
- Repeat layering with the third and fourth layers, adding caramel and toffee each time.
- Top with whipped cream, if desired.

For best results, use high-quality cocoa and allow the cakes to cool completely before layering.
