Toffee Treasure Cake

OVEN 325° 9 OR 10-INCH BUNDT CAKE

A rich buttery cake featuring crunchy toffee candy pockets which form during baking.

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups Pillsbury’s Best All Purpose Flour*
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup (8 oz. or 1/2 pt.) dairy sour cream
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup chopped nuts
6 (5/8 oz. each) or 3 (1 1/8 oz. each) chocolate toffee candy bars, coarsely crushed
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

Generously grease and lightly flour 9 or 10-inch Bundt pan (Teflon, too). Combine 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon; set aside. (No need to sift flour; measure by lightly spooning into cup and leveling off.) In large mixer bowl, combine remaining ingredients except nuts, candy bars and butter. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Spoon 1/2 of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture, then with nuts and crushed candy bars. Pour 1/4 cup melted butter over batter. Bake at 325° for 45 to 50 minutes until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool upright in pan for 15 minutes; remove from pan. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

*For use with Pillsbury’s Best Self-Rising Flour, omit baking powder, soda and salt.

Tip: Cake can be baked as directed in a 13×9-inch baking pan which has been greased on the bottom only. After spooning second half of batter into pan, spread to edges.

HIGH ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT–5,200 feet. Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes.
