Time 1h15m

Yield 20-24 squares

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup almond toffee bits or 1 cup chocolate-covered toffee bits

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F; lightly grease a 13 by 9 by-2-inch baking pan.
  • For the cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well; pat into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.
  • For the filling: Still using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth; beat in the eggs and vanilla; dump in confectioners' sugar and beat well.
  • Reduce the speed and slowly pour in butter, mix well; Fold in toffee bits.
  • Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly; bake for 40 to 50 minutes; Don't be afraid to make a judgment call on the cooking time, because oven temperatures can vary; you want the center to be a little GOOEY, so don't bake it past that point!

Tips for Making the Gooey Toffee Butter Cake:

  • For the perfect toffee sauce, use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar. Light brown sugar gives the sauce a buttery, caramel flavor that perfectly complements the sponge cake.
  • Don't overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath. This helps to create a moist, tender cake with a gooey toffee center.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This gives the toffee sauce time to set and firm up.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. This adds a delicious creamy element that balances out the sweetness of the cake.

Conclusion:

This gooey toffee butter cake is the ultimate dessert for any occasion. It's moist, tender, and packed with toffee flavor. The toffee sauce is rich and decadent, and it perfectly complements the sponge cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
