CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE CRUNCH LAYER CAKE
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-inch-round cake pans or 20 muffin tins.
- Place the dates in large saucepan with 3 1/2 cups cold water. Bring to boil, stirring a little to break up the dates. Then leave to simmer for 1 minute before removing from the heat. Stir in the baking soda (which will cause the mixture to bubble up).
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a food mixer until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, occasionally scraping down mixing bowl. Add the vanilla extract and then the flour and salt and mix briefly to give a lumpy dough.
- Next, add the warm date mixture in two batches. Scrape down the sides of bowl in between mixing. The dough will now be quite watery but don't worry! Finally add the baking powder (this will bubble up also).
- Pour the batter evenly into the two pans or muffin tins. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes for cake pans and about 20 minutes for muffin tins. Test if they are cooked with a small knife or toothpick, it should come out clean when cakes are done.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer gently for a minute or two until thickened and well blended.
- When the cakes are done, poke little holes all over with toothpick, this will enable the sauce to be absorbed more easily. Pour the caramel sauce over cakes while both are still warm and leave to soak for about 10 minutes. Turn the cakes out upside-down onto serving plates (the bottom is the most sticky bit!).
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Steps:
- Layer bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with 1-1/4 cups macaroon crumbs.
- Spread the chocolate ice cream evenly over the crumbs.
- Sprinkle 4 crushed Heath bars over the chocolate ice cream.
- Dribble with 3 Tbsp chocolate syrup, and 2 tbsp liqueur.
- Cover with the remaining 1 cup macaroons.
- Layer the vanilla ice cream over the macaroons.
- Top with remaining 4 Heath bars, 1 Tbsp chocolate syrup (or more if desired), and the 1 Tbsp coffee liqueur.
- Cover, and freeze at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- When ready to serve, run a blade of a kitchen knife around the edges of the pan.
- Remove the sides, and place the ice cream cake on a platter.
- For presentation, more crushed heath bars may be sprinkled on top before serving if desired, but it is not necessary.
- Slice and serve-- Yummy!
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake to bake evenly and produce a tender crumb.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
