Toffee Treasure Cake Recipes

TREASURE TOFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine cinnamon and ¼ cup of sugar, keep aside.
• Combine remaining ingredients (except peanut bars and melted butter).
• Blend at low speed until moistened, beat at a medium speed for 3 minutes.
• Spoon half the batter into a well greased and floured 25cm Bundt, Kuglehopf or ring tin.
• Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• Spoon remaining batter into tin.
• Top with remaining cinnamon and sugar mix and broken peanut bars.
• Pour melted butter over the top.
• Bake at 160°C for 40minutes.
• Cool for 10min and remove from tin.
• You will now see that the peanut bars have melted and slowly migrated through the cake, leaving delicious trails of toffee and chocolate, and have settled to form a caramel/toffee crust on top.
• The secret is in preparing the tin well before you start to avoid sticking.
• Timing when you remove the cake is also important, but not critical.
• If you remove it too soon, the toffee is still liquid and will ooze over the cake (not necessarily a bad thing), or if you let it cool too much the toffee may set and stick to the tin and break away from the top.
• This is not a big problem either, if this happens simply put the cake tin back into your oven with the toffee still stuck inside, and heat it up for a minute or so.
• It will then be a simple job to remove the softened toffee from the tin and place it back on top of your cake, no one will ever know.
