Heath Bar Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup (212 g) packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (106 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (284 g) flour
- 8 tablespoons (113 g) butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk (see note)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5-6 (1.4-ounces) each chocolate covered toffee bars (like Heath), chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and center a rack in the middle of the oven. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, flour and butter. Crumble these ingredients together with a pastry blender, whisk or two forks until the mixture is crumbly and coarse. Remove 1/2 cup of the crumbs to a small bowl and set aside. To the large bowl with the remaining crumbs, add the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it to the edges. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the reserved crumbs and chopped Heath bars. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is no longer gooey but a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. The cake may fall slightly in the center leaving the edges raised. No fear! It will still be delicious.
