CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE CRUNCH LAYER CAKE



Chocolate-Toffee Crunch Layer Cake image

This layered cake is pure chocolate confection. Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ chocolate cake mix gets an extra chocolaty plus-up from the addition of chocolate pudding before baking. A from-scratch dangerously good dark chocolate buttercream frosting covers the three layers of cake. The special addition that takes this dessert to the next level? A toffee bits crunch that's sprinkled among the frosting in between the cake layers, and then piled atop the cake. For an extra-fun touch, we added small frosting stars piped around the edges of the top of the cake! It's a truly over-the-top chocolate dessert that makes a gorgeous centerpiece, and makes any chocolate-loving guest very happy.

1 1/4 cups butter, softened
2 3/4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Time 20m

Yield One 6-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 ounces chocolate wafer cookies (about 30 cookies)
1/3 cup, plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided

CHOCOLATE CRUNCH CAKE (NO BAKE)



Chocolate Crunch Cake (No Bake) image

This was my friend Anna's "secret recipe" for years before she finally revealed all! She used to make it every birthday/Christmas/holiday for all our friends. It's so easy to make a really yummy. Great for pot luck dinners or parties. This is the basic recipe but you add all sorts of things to it - dried fruit, nuts, marshmallows, or cherries work well too.

Provided by Wendy-Bob

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 ounces plain dark chocolate (I actually use half plain and half milk)
4 ounces butter
14 ounces condensed milk
8 ounces digestive biscuits (broken)

Steps:

  • Line a cake tin with clingfilm/greaseproof paper. I vary the tin depending on the event - a loaf-style cake is better for home use, cookie trays are easier for slicing up for a pot luck, or a regular round cake tin is fine if you're using the cake for a birthday.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl (either over a pan of simmering water, or you can nuke it in the microwave in 10-second bursts).
  • Pour the condensed milk into the chocolate and butter mixture and beat together until creamy.
  • Add the broken biscuits and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the cake tin and press it well into the corners.
  • Leave to cool a little then refrigerate until set (it usually takes at least 2 hours depending on how cold your fridge is).

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cake before serving: Chilling the cake will help it set and make it easier to slice.
  • Get creative with toppings: You can top the cake with anything you like, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

This no-bake chocolate crunch cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this cake is sure to be a hit.
